Thanks all. He is still coping up with the after-treatment issues and mostly on liquid diet but Gefitinib seems to be working for him. Any thing conclusive would be known after the next PET Scan. For now, just standard blood test and X-Rays.

Had emailed his doctor to motivate him as well and he did that yesterday when we went for another review. Hopefully this should bring my dad on track of recovery.
