Actor Choi Philip shared updates about his son, who has been under consistent observation following his recovery from childhood cancer.

On the 29th, Choi Philip posted on his social media, "Recently, my wife and I have spent two nerve-wracking weeks. During Do-woon’s blood test, which is conducted every three months, the tumor marker has slightly exceeded the normal range for the first time."

Choi Philip noted, "This was the first time since treatment concluded, and the doctor said, 'There shouldn't be a big problem,' but honestly, each day was agonizing. During these two weeks, every action of Do-woon felt like a blessing. I felt deeply how precious this moment was, fearing he might get sick again."

He continued, "If he gets sick again now, it seems it would be a deeper and more painful time than when he was just born and fighting illness. And today, after finishing all my appointments and praying, I checked the test results with a pounding heart, and thankfully, it was within the normal range."

He reflected, "I cried. During the time Do-woon was ill, the moments spent together as a family of four were the greatest joy, but after treatment, I lived each day far too normally. However, there was no such thing as a normal day. Every one of those days was a blessing."

He emphasized, "Today, my wife and I plan to spend the most precious night of all. Please don't take today for granted. Every day is a gift, and every day is a miracle. The most precious time for us is 'this moment right now.'"

Meanwhile, Choi Philip married a non-celebrity 9 years younger than him in 2017 and welcomed their first daughter in 2019, two years later. In February 2023, they had a son. However, their second son, diagnosed with childhood cancer at just 4 months old, was later reported to have concluded treatment, drawing sympathy.

Recently, my wife and I have spent two nerve-wracking weeks.
During Do-woon’s blood test, which is conducted every three months, the tumor marker has slightly exceeded the normal range for the first time.

This was the first time since treatment concluded, and the doctor said, "There shouldn't be a big problem," but honestly, each day was agonizing.

If it had been the same as before, I would have been irritated when Do-woon threw a tantrum, but during these two weeks, every action of Do-woon felt like a blessing.
I felt deeply how precious this moment was, fearing he might get sick again.

Currently, Do-woon is going through a period of deep emotional bonding with his parents.
So it was even more frightening.
If he gets sick again now, it seems it would be a deeper and more painful time than when he was just born and fighting illness.

And today. After finishing all my appointments and praying, I checked the test results with a pounding heart…
thankfully, it was within the normal range.

I cried.
During the time Do-woon was ill, the moments spent together as a family of four were the greatest joy, but after treatment, I lived each day far too normally.
However, there was no such thing as a normal day. Every one of those days was a blessing.

Today, my wife and I plan to spend the most precious night of all.
Though we are lacking, there are words I want to convey.

Please don't take today for granted.
Every day is a gift, and every day is a miracle.
The most precious time for us is 'this moment right now.'
