question: my husband had liver Hepp atitis c and was treated twice.  the first time it didnt' work but the second did after 15months of treatement. In oct he was diagnosed with liver cancer and advised he needed a liver transplant.  it was not eligible at first to go on the list as he had 4 tumer and one was two big. after two treatments of y-90, two of the tumors shrunk enough to make him eligible to go on the list.  Now however we found out that his afp number have been rising so they want more test .  it was reading 148 but last month went o 268.  this month it is 378.  what are some reason that the afp might go up other than that the cansor may have spread.  he has had mri every 4 months
