Hi - My husband has recurring soft tissue sarcoma in his abdomen, recurring for three times, having surgery with each recurrance. Each time the tumor returns quicker and now we are faced with two tumors growing in the same place by his adrenal gland. We have been at UW Medical and surgery cannot be performed. We have our medical records set to Sloan-Kettering in New York and am waiting for a reply. Was wondering if anyone has a doctor's name we can check out for more persoanl contact. Also if there is anyone who has had a similar cancer please let us know what action you took. We are also checking out the Issel's Treatment in Mexico. Thank you for your kindness in replying.

The Issel's treatment is a good idea it allows the immune system and the bodys own iner mechanisms, to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. It called an immuno therapy program the other thing it dos is it stimulate the body's own regulatory, repair so it can repair damage done by cancer cells. Look like you might have I iknow I said this be for but it sounds like your Husband might have MDR. This last bit is a repeat of the last part of other post I did a week ago it was about Pawpaw and cancer sorry Im only posting it to explan about MDR.
Most tumors contain a small percentage, approximately 2%, of multiple drug-resistant cells (MDR cells). Chemo is not effective against these cells. After the first round of chemo, if the chemo is effective, all of the cells that are not MDR, are destroyed. Since this accounts for the vast majority of the tumor mass, the tumor will appear to be effectively destroyed. However, the MDR cells remain and start to multiply. Eventually, a new tumor is formed that is entirely MDR. The next time chemo is used, none of the cells will be destroyed because they are all MDR. Paw Paw is the only cancer treatment that has shown effectiveness against MDR cells.will hope this helps Ray
