Update to my OCF family: dad is still holding up. He is still on liquid diet and has lost around 8 lbs so far, weak and has occassional head-ache. So far X-Rays and blood jobs have been clear. MRI late this month to find out if Gefitinib has indeed helped or not.

He is currently visiting his hometown and will be back only next week. Wish he gains some more confidence.
