tumor markers & my lists

I got the results of my tumor markers this morning.  My CEA test is down to 7.2, and it had previously been 13.6.  The normal range for this test is 2.5 and below.  My CA27-29 test is down to 40.9, and it had previously been 66.9.  The normal range for this test is 38 and under.  This medicine is working and  things are still going in the right direction.  Or to quote the text that my brother David just sent me "You can almost say you are normal....and you've never been normal!"    I will gladly take any sign of things regressing!

Several people asked about my big and short trip lists so I thought I would share a few of the things that are on each.   Some of the places on my big trip list may never happen, but it doesn't hurt to dream right?  My lists were made as things came into my head rather than in any particular order or importance, and I keep adding things as they come to mind.  Most of the places on the short trip list are in Florida, and it has either  been a long time since I've gone, I didn't get to spend much time there, or I haven't ever gone to them as I said in the previous blog.  If you know of other interesting places in Florida or really anywhere that I should make sure to get to, please let me know :)
