Getting Ready for Surgery...!!!

It has been nine (9) weeks since my father has started taking Fucoidan and five (5) weeks of taking Nexavar which is pill-form chemotherapy (Sorafenib).

This product pictured is the exact supplement that he is currently taking daily.  300mg x 150 capsules

My father is definitely in good spirits.  When asking how he feels, he continues to respond with - "I feel normal. No change at all." For someone who is going through chemotherapy, to feel normal is definitely a blessing and he definitely does not show signs of fatigue.  However, this does not mean that he has escaped the side effects of chemotherapy.  According to the drug manufacturer's website, the common side effects which include:

– decreased blood flow to the heart and heart attack. Get emergency help if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, feel lightheaded or faint, have nausea or vomiting, or you are sweating a lot.

– bleeding problems. Tell your doctor if you have any bleeding or easy bruising while taking NEXAVAR.

– high blood pressure. Your blood pressure should be checked every week during the first 6 weeks of starting therapy and then regularly, thereafter. If your blood pressure is high, it may need to be treated.

– a skin problem called hand-foot skin reaction. This causes redness, pain, swelling or blisters on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet. Your doctor may change your dose or stop treatment for a while.

– perforation of the bowel. Tell your doctor right away if you get high fever, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain.

– wound healing problems. If you have a surgical or dental procedure, tell your doctor you are taking NEXAVAR. Your treatment may be stopped until after your surgery or until your wound heals.

– changes in the electrical activity of your heart called QT prolongation.

Of what is listed above, the only side effect that he has experienced is the hand-foot skin reation.  There is some drying of the hands, and feet resembling a skin rash. However, the severity of such reaction has been realively mild. In short, adding Fucoidan as a supplement to his daily diet has greatly helped him throughout his chemotherapy session.

Next step... Surgery. My father will be undergoing surgery to remove the lesions currently located in his upper left lung. The surgeon who will be operating on him is highly esteemed in the field and the procedure will be minimally invasive, Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS).
