Progress Update, August 6, 2026

Also, Zoom interview of August 2, now available for viewing on YouTube. Link in article

On Tuesday, August 4, 2026 I had my tenth chemotherapy treatment and blood work done. My CEA (Cancerous Embryonic Antigen) levels continue to drop. This time by about 4 points. My blood counts remain stable and at slightly low but good levels.

I will have two more chemo treatments and will then get a CT scan done to see how the tumors in my liver are doing. Hopefully they will have reduced further by that time. The goal of my oncologist is to increase treatment options for me as the tumors reduce. My brother concurs this is a rationale idea.

On Sunday I had my live Zoom talk with Lenny Jacobs. There were about 100 persons in attendance including my brother, Norio and several Macrobiotic teachers and friends from around the world including Bill Spear, Greg Johnson and Bill Tara. The video of the talk has been posted to YouTube for those who missed it. you can watch the video here:

If you have additional questions that you would like for me to answer then please feel free to write them down in the comment section and I will address them in a future post or in another live Zoom conference event to be scheduled soon through this substack provided there is enough interest.

Thank you!

With love and tears of gratitude,

Phiya
