Hi all,

We made it home about 9:45 last night. The roads were clear and dry...with a few chuck holes. Still lots of trucks on that I-80.

Kristi's appointment went alright. She had very little vaginal bleeding on and off for a few weeks and it turns out to be a small fistula. Dr. Loggie said he could feel tumor there causing it. They were glad Kristi called a couple weeks ago reported it. He wants her to go on Fulfuri chemotherapy and see it it shrinks and heals...no Avastin this time. They said Fulfuri has less neurpathy than 5FU and well handled. If it don't shrink he wants to go in there and cut it back some. It would be an outpatient deal. Krist's CA 19-9 tripled since the last surgery and we almost knew he was going to put her on chemo again. She's been off chemo since July of last year. Kristi has no next appointment right now but Dr. Loggie wants to get tumor markers done every month or so and the nurse said he'd probably want to see her in 3-4 months.

Thanks for all the love and prayers.

Chip & Kristi
