Metastatic Stage Iv Squamous Bladder Cancer

I need information from anyone who can help for alternative treatments for Stage IV Metastatic Squamous Cell Bladder Cancer, now metastisized to the bones and liver.  Drs. not offering much.  Now being treated at Burzynski in Houston but no signs of shrinkage after 3 weeks of therapy.  Does anyone have any experience with this form of cancer and possible treatments??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jan, I am a 72 years old women. With high-grade bladder cancer. I had my bladder removed in 2001 but the cancer returned in 2006 and mets to my liver. I am in stage III/IV cancer. I am on a clinical trial at the University of Michigan and taking a drug in pill form called "sutent". It is helping and holding the cancer at bay for the last 7 cycles in taking the drug. But it has many side-effects. Hope this information help. Remember the enemy of cancer is hope. Peace, Mary Jane.
