  4. Abnormal AFP. Option to reduce the afp?

Abnormal AFP

2018-03-06 14:02:45
Testicular cancer was detected in me in Jun-17 then one testicular was removed by surgery and after that 4 chemo cycles were given to me. And after that with one surgery (RPLDN) another tumor was removed. And due to AFP was 22 after surgery, then again two cycles of chemo were given to me. And after that AFP reached at 6. But after one month AFP was detected 20 in the body. So why it is increasing again? shall I have to take chemo again? or is there any other option to reduce the AFP?
