You have a heck of a situation there. It sounds like Dad can't handle not be in control of the disease. I can understand that. But there are options for you, Try giving him vitamins and ip-6 in his food. There is a Doctor in Rockville, Md. Irv Rosenberg (the apothecary.com)that is a holistic healer. Not a quack but he gives supplements that boost the immune system to fight the cancer. Our bodies don't see cancer cells as a threat because they are not 'tagged' as a mutated cell, so out system does not kill them. Go to all-flora.com and ck out the tea. I have done tons of research, my sister has stage 4 colon cancer and I lost my mom to cancer in '92. So I have searched for the best products. Read the literature on ip-6 and flor-essence. and Beta 1,3-d glucan, You may be suprised. There are many supplements to prevent blood counts from dropping and to minimize the effects of chemo and radation. Good luck and May God bless.
