Mike and I met with Dr. Wyshock today to discuss the results of his CT scan and his blood testing done last week. Dr. Wyshock stated he was happy with Mike's results. The CT scan showed regression in the lungs and liver. When asked about the colon, he said it is hard to see on the CT scan due to everything surrounding the colon, but the report stated everything had regressed.
When Mike had his first CEA testing, his reading was 23, 184. The normal level for this test is 0.-2.5. The results from his testing on 07/15/2013 showed this reading to be down to 56.1!
I asked Dr. Wyshock if Mike's response to his treatment was better than he had expected or about normal for these types of cancer. He stated that in his line of medicine and the years practicing, he does not have expectations, but stated that he was happy with his results.
We are both really excited about these results. I cried happy tears. Everyone we have told is so happy and excited for him. Will keep you posted.

07/01/13 TREATMENT
Thursday, July 4th
Here is an update on Mike's treatment.
Mike had his 6th treatment on Monday, July 1st. His WBC was down to 3100. He was told that a repeat CT scan would be done on Monday, July 15th as well as a CEA test. He then has a follow up visit with Caitlyn, the physician assistant in the oncologist's office for the results.
We will have a copy of the CT scan put on a disc that I can send out through Fed Ex so we can get it to Dr. Weber in Germany as soon as possible for his review. I also hope to include his CEA test, but if I cannot get that out right away, then I will download the results from the hospital's web site and email that to Dr. Weber.
We then hope that we will hear back from Dr. Weber telling us to pack our bags as he has accepted Mike as a patient. Please keep Mike in your prayers and keep your fingers crossed that we get good news from Germany.
We have had such good response to the selling of the Fight for Mike awareness bands and can cozies with the money going to the Lords Cancer Care Association bank account to help with Mike's treatment costs as well as getting Mike to Germany. The support of our friends and the donations we have received have been wonderful. We are so thankful for everyone's generosity.
Until the next post......
