Smile Doing Great!!!
Hi Everyone,
I had a bone and cat scan last week and saw my oncologist today. My cat scan looks good and my bone scan indicates that the bones are healing. My tumor markers are great indicators for me and are now both normal. My CEA is now 1.7. I am hoping that it will eventually be under one. This is a great trial and I highly recommend it . It has minimal side effects, and I can live a normal life and continue working. I am on the phase 1 weekly trial.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.

Barbara - FANTASTIC!!!! What great news. A CEA of 1.7 indicates that you are well within the normal range. What a great way for you to celebrate the new year. This appears to be a very exciting new drug and you and Lily are wonderful trailblazers.
