My Papa 16

This picture was taken around chinese new year at Grace's house.
Papa has to go on liquid diet... the tumor at the lung is growing and blocking the esophagus , he has difficulty to swallow food, doctor recommend to insert a stent about 12 cm long to open up the esophagus ( The esophagus is the tube that carries food, liquids and saliva from your mouth to the stomach.) The prodedure was done on 25/3/08 it took less then 30 min to fix it.
At least he can take food from his mouth and he can taste the food, but all foods have to be in paste or liquid form.
Seen oncology yesterday, and papa agreed to do another round of chemo, doctor warn us about the side effect, this chemo may caused numbness to his finger .....
I brought him to see the TCM today, TCM doctor prescribe some herbs to boil and drink to help reduce the side effect of chemo.
Lord, we need you to be with us. Amen!
