CT scans clear
I received news Friday that both my CT scans from this week are clear of evidence of tumors. This was relatively good news. The CT scan equipment can measure things reliably down to about a quarter of an inch. Thus, we ruled out anything big and vicious. So we can guess that the elevated CEA is either an early sign of some future recurrence or that the Xeloda is causing liver toxicity. We'll find out more in a few weeks when I retake the CEA.

Greg and Christine. This is indeed great news and opportunity to praise God!! Only He knows what this really means. Meanwhile, rejoice!!
Great news. You are in everyone's prayers. We missed Christine at the Rice reunion last weekend!
Praise Jesus! That's great news, my friend. Our God is large and in charge, and there's no better, more secure, more blessed place that you could possibly be than in his loving, merciful hands. Of course, you knew that already...
Hey, speaking of courses, what a great occasion to praise God on that new mandolin of yours... ;)

Greg,
I came across your site as I was searching for information on colerectal cancer, M.D. Anderson and Dr. Rodriguez-Bigas. I was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and I am scheduled for surgery this Thursday at M.D. Anderson. I wanted to thank you for sharing information about your experience during your battle. I hope you are doing well and I wish you the best.
Sincerely,
Joel Deason
Thank You Lord
