For the first time in almost 8 years, my dad’s cancer has woken up and has progressed to a group of lymph nodes in his diaphragm right outside his liver. After getting the PET scan and abdomen MRI, Dr Liu and a team of specialist came up with a plan for my dad to get a procedure where they put a gold tracker that’s is about 2 mm in that area where the lymph nodes are because of the sensitivity of the location so close to his liver and heart. This would help localize radiation specific to those areas. After undergoing cyber knife radiation in September and October to kill the cancerous cells. He will continue on his targeted therapy treatment and get another routine scan in December. This is why funding for research on situations like this can make a difference! We hope that this works, and we hope that you all will continue to pray for our warrior! We thank you for your continued support and always remember We Are JAIMESTRONG!
