Results are mostly positive

Well we met with Dr. Poulin today and the news was mixed. On the positive side, the rectal tumor is gone and they could not find any cancer cells in the rectum. They did a biopsy but there was not enough affected tissue to even get a sample for genetic testing.

They wanted the sample to do genetic testing to see if Jessica is a viable candidate for a biologic chemo drug called Erbitux. The reason they are looking into this is that, the liver and lungs remain unchanged, but on the plus side they haven't increased! There is still work to be done. Jess will continue 4-6 more rounds of chemo and then they will repeat the scans. She will likely have to have a liver biopsy done to see if she is a candidate for the Erbitux. That timeframe has not yet been determined.

We are happy that the primary tumor is gone but of course we were hoping that there would have been further reduction in the liver and lungs. Her CEA is up to 11.8, however, the doctor wasn't concerned. She continues to look and feel good and to approach this situation from all directions Medical/Spiritual and Western/Eastern.... We are waiting for her physical body that is bound by the constraints of time and space to catch up to her spiritual body which is already PERFECT!!! All things in due time.
