Just want to update on my father. He came out of critcal condition from his second liver resection. 95% of the tumor is out by surgery. The other 5% was dealt with by RFA because the tumor lies near the arteries. Dad's CEA went down to 2.8 and doctor said that if should continue to go down. He checked out of the hospital this morning. I am surprised to hear this. I am SOOOO happy for him.

I think the HAI pump will be turned on soon after a few weeks of recovery. Thanks to all who sends good words, thoughts and vibes. Your support means a lot!!!
