Gordie Howe is doing so well after stem cell treatment that his son would like the hockey legend to undergo the treatment again.


Gordie Howe suffered a pair of strokes late last year.


Marty Howe says his father did not have long to live when the family decided to take him to Mexico last month for stem cell treatment.


He adds that his father can now walk again and his speech is improving.


Gordie Howe holds the NHL record for most games and seasons played.


The 86-year-old Hall of Famer played on four Stanley Cup championship teams in Detroit during a 25-year stint that began in 1946.
