I am so sorry to hear about your brother-in-law but you have come to the right place for help. My dad just recently had a surgery consult with Dr. Luketich at University of Pittsburg (UPMC). We also consulted with a medical oncologist named Dr. Michael Gibson who seemed very knowledgeable and offered us several options if Daddy is not a candidate for surgery. We've only had consults with these drs but were very impressed.
Another website you might try is Cathy's EC Cafe and www.acor.org.
I will be praying for your brother-in-law.
Please keep us updated!
