Thanks for stopping by

This blog is about our journey with life while living with cancer. John was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in February 2014. And so we walk "Side by Side." The title of the blog has been a phrase that Joyce and I have used for the past several years. It has been our way to deal with the reality that most plans and most days don't happen the way we had pictured it in our mind. And it has been our way to learn to anticipate the unexpected.

JOHN'S 37 Word Update!

Note from Erin: I'm going back and posting from Dad's original emails, so you can catch up. The actual first date of this blog was in January 2015.
CEA numbers track how colon cancer treatment is going.  Normal is 2 for most people , 5 if you smoke.

My numbers have been:
Feb 6th: 924
Mar.21: 152
April 4th: 64

And this past Friday
Displaying
May 9th:  22.5!

Have Pet Scan tomorrow at 8:30 AM to compare that to original. May know results by Friday.
