Persevering and God's Hand

      Jo's markers are now CEA, 1540 from 1503 which went up a little. That may not be bad. We are hoping that it is from the antigens being released after the tumor cell dies. CA 19-9, is now 885 from 1538, which is good news and tells us that the treatment is still hitting the tumors hard. Jo's hardest days of treatment are Wednesday and Thursday, which is after she has the chemotherapy treatment. That is supposedly a good thing, meaning the treatment is having a response on the tumors. So she presses through knowing this is for the glory of God and all that love her.

     We have decided to extend her treatment to six weeks instead of five weeks like originally planned. This will give her more response from the treatments on her tumors which is Dr. Cedeno's recommendation, which will be best for Jo. Before we leave we are planning to get a CT scan so we can actually look at the tumor size and see what has been happening for the six weeks of treatment.

     I am looking for a oncologists or naturopath oncologist in Washington area that practices the IPT method of chemo treatment so that Jo may not have to make trips down here to Mexico every month. I will be bringing Coleys vaccine shots and Gramel shots with me from Mexico which I will be able to administer to Jo myself so that she can be on partial of the treatment when she is in the states.

Love and miss you all!
Marty and Jo

Another Package Arrived!


For all of you!

In case you think Jo is depressed, this is a joke. She does miss you. Who wouldn't miss you?
