AFP update

A bit of quick news.
Elizabeth finished her 4th week of the last round of Chemo last week. So, that meant this week was the week to check on the AFP levels.
We got the results today. AFP is at 295. Up a bit from six weeks ago, but at these levels it is hard to know what it means, if anything. We have been in the 200 to 300 range for the for the 3 months or so. Normal is down in the single digits and she has been in the thousands. So it is all relative.

Well, CT scan is next week. The week after that, we’ll get an update of what Dr. Marcio is thinking at this point and see if he wants to stay with the IFL or try something else.

Sorry for the delay and the overdue promised pictures. So much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it. So much to do and so little time.
Kids are looking forward to Halloween. Elizabeth is going to be Lilo and Danny will be Stitch. Matt is Buzz Lightyear and Mike is still trying to decide what will work for his Halloween party.

I will try to keep more regular updates.
Take care
