I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. I haven't kept up with this since December, so I missed this in January. My Dad's latest results indicate lumbar spine involvement, and liver involvement with lesions too numberous to count. He also has a recurrance in the lymph site originally excised, the larges tumor is 5.5 cm. this all in a three month period. Now he has decided to try experimental treatment AMG 479. This is phase 1, first time used on humans. His oncologist told him 3-6 months which really means 6 weeks to 4 months. It is a helpless feeling indeed to 'support' the opinions and efforts of the physicians. I am discouraged. He doesn't even want me to visit right now.
