Subject: RE: stage IV survival stories?
Date: 01/31/2008

Thank you for posting this survival story, I am so glad that there are facilities willing to try. My father had survived for 5 years from EC cancer, originally through microwave treatment. When it returned after 5 yrs we could not find a facility to treat him. We had to fight just for a feeding tube to be put in when the tumor block him from eating. We later found out in a different hospital that the feeding tube had been put in improperly and had to be corrected. I have always wondered if they did it intentionally because they had refused to put it in and wanted him to starve to death. My Mom loudly insisted that they put one in anyway...  My father died Dec. 2004 more from the pneumonia that had set in and caused his kidneys to fail than from the cancer.  He was an awesome person that loved to travel and go for the adventurous expeditions through earthwatch. He really was the Indian Jones in living color and loved life.  He had a great laugh that was contagious you couldn’t be in the same room with him and not be uplifted by his warmth and sense of humor.  It is a tragedy that he was not saved and I know they could have if they only wanted to.
