Hi everyone,  Welcome to my new blog – beastrong.com.  This is thanks to my wonderful daughter Julie.  All new postings will be at this site and no longer at the carepages.com site.

Bea, Ray and Julie

New CA19-9 number from blood test taken July 2nd is 25.  So I went from 242 to 36 to 25.  This is a great sign that the tumors are shrinking.  We’re excited about this number and it gave us another reason to celebrate while we’re at the beach.

The beach has been wonderful – some clouds and rain here and there, but for the most part sun and great temperatures.  Of course, it goes without saying great food, great fun with family and friends.

We will be going back to Boston July 30th. We’re into going there only once a month now, except when I’m having a CT scan done.
