My sister had bio-chemotherapy treatment at M D Anderson. That is three chemo drugs along with Interlukin and Interferon. She had to be hospitalized during each of the five day treatments. She had the bio-chemo six times each being two weeks apart.
During the treatments, she got very sick, lost her hair, etc. but those treatments saved her life. Her last treatment was in May of 2007 and so she is one year in remission. She goes to MDA every 90 days for scans and blood work and has passed each time.
Her doctor at MDA in the melanoma dept. is Dr. Kim. She loves him and would recommend him highly. I don't know if you can request a certain doctor or not but he is a very good one.
Best of luck to you and the patient. Let me know if you would like my sister's e-mail address to correspond with her.
