We did meet with the main medical oncologist last Tuesday, April 28th. The CT Scan was clear with no signs of cancer in the lungs or liver. It even looked as if the tumor has shrunk since the CT Scan in January. Gus and I left the doctor's office feeling quite pleased with life right now. The doctor did not agree with our choice of no visits to Bozeman, however. He wants to see Gus on a monthly basis, so we are scheduled for a doctor's visit on June 2. That is still a huge improvement since last summer when Gus made the trip daily.
Gus had another CA 19-9 done last Tuesday and this time the number was 31. Gus feels so good right now and is getting so much accomplished. He is exhausted at night, but still the rewards of being out there getting dirty is balm to his soul. His hands are bruised and dirty just like the old days. Sometimes we almost forget the shadow that hangs over our life because of how good it is right now. One of Gus' hunting buddies feels Gus should be buying lottery tickets because of his ability to beat the odds.
Gus and Lane just headed to Dillon to the driving range at the golf course. They have been putting all morning into the little plastic cup at home and now they are ready for more excitement. Gus has not spent as much time practicing as Lane so it really is not a fair match.
