I feel like I won a lottery! I was thinking it would be cool to get some of the local CPers together sometime soon, maybe after the first of the year, at a place with good brews and we can all hoist a pint or two.

Thank you very much for that. It's easier for me to feel as upbeat as I do now since I am not as bad off as I could be or was even expected to be by the doctors. I'm not 100%, no doubt about it, but I'm not ready for hospice care, either. Maybe, should things really slide downhill and stay that way, my demeanor could change for the worse, but I've yet to even see that bridge to cross. I'm doing my best to sustain myself through prayer, faith, and all the overwhelming support and encouragement I am receiving. I still envision myself in the Viking helmet in the pic I posted, war axe in hand, battling the cancer monster constantly, sinking my axe into the foul brute over and over, yelling at it, "You can only kill me, you bastard, but you can't ever beat me!"

Your a strong man Ed. After reading this thread I have nothing highest admiration for you. Like in the Navy SEAL creed "Never out of the fight." That is how I see you you are in our prayers.

I got some very good news this morning from a nurse at the cancer center. My blood test on Wednesday showed my CEA, the cancer marker, to be 6.5 and she emphatically said that was great. I asked what the numbers meant and she said 3 or lower is normal. Back in September, she said, I got an 88.5, then 40-something in October, 20.5 in November, and now this low 6.5 number. So that means the chemo is working very well and they have not done another CT scan yet to determine the shrinkage of the cancer tumors and whatever else since September. But, it does show the protein stuff that cancer cells give off is drastically reduced. I hope my number goes down to 0 and really flips the staff out. Fugg you, cancer, and get the hell out of me already!
