advice

My son 23 years old was told he had testicular cancer, that had spread to his lungs, shoulder and behind the kidney. He was told he had a 98% chance of leading a normal life. He has had his testical off a underwent chemo, they found a 21cm cancer in his stomac that has advanced into his back mussels and spine, and surgery is not possible, With the help of chemo it has shrink to about 12cm but is now growing again. They told him nothing can be done and gave him months to live. He is starting raduim treatment next week but it is not going to cure him. The cancer is a Metastaic germ cell. They can't harvest stem cells as the chemo killed them off, he has had blood transfusions. What I want to know is simply, what other treatment can i suggest he try, as I refuse to give up. I heard of Zeolite is it worth a try or is there a experimently drug we could look into, any help would be appericated. We will try anything.

 thanks Maryann

 

I'm so sorry to hear about your son. Have you been in touch with Dr. Einhorn at Indiana University?  Please call him if you haven't.  Google him and Indiana University and email or call. 

Thank you for that advise, I have never even heard of this doctor before but I did email him and he replied. I will let you know if anything come of it. How do you know this Doctor have you been seeing him youself?

My husband is currently at Indiana University for treatment with Dr. Einhorn.  He is receiving high dose chemotherapy because the first line of treatment did not get everything.  Dr. Einhorn developed the chemotherapy regiment that is in practice for this cancer, so he is the best!  He was also Lance Armstrong's doctor who also had this cancer.  You may also check out www.tc-cancer.com/forum  it has been a great source of support for my husband through his whole ordeal.  Never give up hope!
