Well we had my monthly visit with Dr.Torrey..and I felt that it went very well. My tumor markers (which should be 38) have been rising since February by between 20 -25 points a month.This month they only went up 8 points..so I feel as though the new shot that I get every month is starting to work. I am feeling very good..and have had a fun summer with a houseful of family and friends. I have given up my nightly glass of wine which I really enjoyed in hopes that that will bring the tumor markers down even more...so stay tuned on that one. I have really been trying to meditate every day..as most cancer experts recommend daily meditation. I wouldn't say I have reached any sort of enlightenment..but I am starting to enjoy it. I have several meditation tapes..and just got some of Deepak Chopra's mediation tapes so I am excited about trying them..to see if I can reach some higher level of something! so stay tuned...I hope all is well with all of you and that you have had a good summer.
