Hi all, update on me goes like this; ctDNA was neg., Dr. Kern went over my April CT/with contrast scan and gave an all clear. It has been two years since Dr. Kern performed Rolles Laser surgery on my lung mets. Ya, today is a good milestone. CEA is back down to almost normal from 15.2 to 6.8. I had a bacterial infection and must have affected the tumor marker is all we can figure. I am very sensitive to the CEA marker.
I bought the book Deuterium Depletion, A New Way of Curing Cancer and Preserving Health. I am digging and researching this to fully understand it since I have never heard of deuterium until recently. Not sure what I will find as far as pros/cons.

Very happy for you, Beach!
Re: Update
It's good to hear that you received an all clear and your ctDNA was negative. Very good news indeed. I am really happy for you!
The book that you are reading sounds interesting. When you get time, please share what you learned from it.

Re: Update
Thanks yall! As we all know the cancer road is so tough mentally and physically so when one gets good news it changes the horizon.
The book has an interesting take on cancer and remission. There are over 100 studies about DDW, who knew! I am on page 38 now.
I also read a book about Light, Radiation and You by John Ott. It was a good read.

Re: Update
ND burst my bubble by pointing out what I missed on bloodwork. Iron is on high side trying to go from Fe+2 to Fe+3. Not good. So, plan is to up 3 supplements to try to bring it down and watch iron in my diet. ferritin was in the upper range of normal.
Always something out of sync needing correction. Sigh
