Tumor Marker test Back

Matt went in for a tumor marker test. The last one was when we got home from Washington DC the Feburary. At that time it was 2.10. Now the test came back at 6.40.

I called Dr. Sugarbaker to see where we go from here. Dr. Sugarbaker is in Italy talking about Matt's kind of cancer. Dr. Sugarbaker's wife will be talking to him today and I will call this afternoon to see what his opinion is. I also have a call in Dr. Eastman to see what his opinion is. I will call him this afternoon to see what he has to say.

Mrs. Sugarbaker thought anothe tumor marker test in a month. Sometimes the number can fluxuate. She thought we should do it again. She also mentioned a earlier CT scan or a pet scan to see where it is forming in Matt. I will find out this afternoon what Dr. Sugarbaker recommends.

Please keep Matt in your prayers as we continue in this process. Our family really appreciates all the thoughts, prayers and cards we have received. Thank you so much to everyone.
