We visited with the Dr. today. CEA level continues to get lower every time we come. It was 130 in Jan and today it was down to 29. However, he has lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks. He weighs 138 lbs which is the weight he was when we got here in Januaray. The Doc believes that is from the antibiotic he is on for his sinus infection (causes diarreha sp????). He has not been eating much because of these problems. The Doc did an Xray on his right hip because it has been hurting for about 3 weeks now. He believes it is bursitus (sp????????) but he is overly cautious with Buel because of all his problems and checks out everything. We saw the Wound Care Nurse today for his face rash which is caused by the chemo. She gave him cremes, lotions, etc. to help. All of which have lots of moisturizers in them. We are now waiting on him to have chemo at 1 pm. His next visit will be May 10th at 11:45 am for CT scans of abdomen, chest, etc. and then chemo on May 11th. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. Tommie
