The Struggle Has Ended

4.1
Just called the lab technician to get my CEA results from yesterday - 4.1! That's down again from three weeks ago and now is nearly normal (under 4.0 is considered normal). For those who don't know, when the CEA goes above normal it is a sign of impending recurrence of the cancer.It is a baffling thing for my CEA to go down when I'm not on chemo. I'll speak with the doctor or his P.A. soon to find out what this could possibly mean, but I can guess that this has to be a good sign. Perhaps I'll be able to get back on the preventative chemo plan again after aborting it 6 weeks ago? I'll write more when I find out how to interpret all this and how this affects the treatment plan, but wanted to share some joy with everyone who has been so kind as to share my burdens.
Today is a sunny day for my soul.

This good news reminds me that you and Christine have fulfilled Romans 12-1. You have offered your bodies as living sacrifices, and now you have tested and approved" what God's Will is-His good, pleasing and perfect Will".
It is my opinion He has much for you both to do. Today is the first day of the rest of your lives.
God Bless You!!
I am always excited to hear the good news. Paul and I return to MDA this Sunday. Again, I tell you that your website gave us an insight into what was ahead of us a few months ago...and Dr. R-B and Phyllis. God Bless You...and life goes on
Have you seen the one about all the pieces starting to fall into place??? That is just what is happening, isn't it? It is the Lord's will. Thank you for providing the Beacon. From: TPC Prayer Group out in Tualatin, Oregon.

Dearest Greg and Christine,
