    We got some great news yesterday! During the previous visit to the Oncologist, some blood was drawn to evaluate the effect of the chemotherapy Monica is receiving. There is something called "cancer antigen" and when first diagnosed, Monica's value was way high - about 1000. The recent blood test shows now the level of the antigen is 400. The chemo is WORKING and Monica believes her attitude about "Get out of my body you unwanted bloody pestilence" is having its effect. We are both excitied at her progress!

    We would also like to thank everyone for their prayers as, I'm sure they have made their own contribution to Monica's progress as well. Thank you all so much.(but don't stop now as the battle has only been joined and not won!)

    Congratulations Nick and Monica, hearing this encouraging news is wonderful. If a positive attitude was beneficial up until now, the re-newed positive attitude will really kick in for an even better effect. Way to go guys!

    Great news Nick.
    Sounds like Monica has a great attitude and it is reflected in her test numbers.
    Keep fighting and well keep rooting!
