Lots of Updates...

It's been awhile since I have posted an update.  Since the last posting, a couple things have transpired.  Currently, my father's live and lungs have remained clear from cancer and he continues to take his daily dose of Fucoidan. His blood Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) has dropped down to the mid 60s which continues to be a good sign for us all.  With cancer, however, it is a disease that can get pretty tricky.

Since the lung surgery, the cancer has spread to his femur and has caused some level of discomfort.  In attempts to prevent his bone from fracturing, he has undergone surgery to put in place a metal rod and some screws to support his body weight. Surgery was a success and now he is currently in recovery.  The pain and discomfort associated with walking has greatly reduced and he is in good spirits about it all.  In a nut-shell, he is pretty much a great trooper about this whole ordeal. Once he has recovered from the actual surgery, he will commence localized radiation to target the cancer in his femur.

Note: This is not his actual X-ray, but the procedure is something like this...

This journey continues to be a challenge and is very trying on our family, but much like our other bouts with cancer, we try to stay positive but more importantly, do what we can to help our father stay positive.
