Yesterday Brian had a new blood draw, which they always do before you start chemo treatments, and his CA 19-9 number is down from 8700 to 4100 BEFORE any chemo treatments! We are so excited for this news! The oncologist gave us the go ahead to keep up with the alternative treatments we are doing at home so long as the numbers are going down.
For those of you who want to know, Brian is doing high dose intravenous vitamin c treatments and edible marijuana (decarboxylation is very important). Also, it is strongly suggested that Indica strains are used. These treatments were started Feb 3rd, right after his last CT scan and blood draw.

New scans and canceled ablation
Brian got a new CT scan today and we saw the oncologist. His CA 19-9 levels have gone up to 8700. The tumor on his pancreas has grown by .5 cm. The liver lesion has not changed. The oncologist has decided that the ablation would not benefit Brian so he has canceled it and Brian is to start back on chemo within the next week or two.
