The Dr. originally suggested the cocktail as an aggressive treatment. did not seem tohave much hope, though.
Then called a day later and said he would be an excellent candidate for a clinical trial.. that did not seem to work.
I think it has spread to the liver.. they say it is all over his stomach..
Tehre is some fluid that accumulates in the stomach.. He has been drained twice.. First time they took out 3 litres.. 2nd time 8.25 litres.. His stomach is swollen again.. meaning more fluid is accumulating.. A dr. friend tells me that means liver is not functining well..
Dr. is a christian and seems very nice..
I wonder if it is worthwhile to contact MD Anderson in Houston, Tx.
What do you think?
I agree that you should go to MD anderson. I would ask them about the main three areas: chemo, radiation and surgery. But I would also ask about cutting edge areas outside those three since it seems that your son needs something quickly and since chemo has not really worked. You need to try things which are not proven yet but which are from the scientific side of the house. I wish you good luck.
