I am sorroy to hear about your mother and the trials. I know how that is. I am not able to have the treatment at excel diag. b/c it costs 20,000 and my insurance won't say whether or not they will cover any of it until after I pay for it up front. I don't have the money so no can do. My dr. in MD Anderson said it won't help anyway....Dr. O'dorisio in Iowa city (is that who you saw) said that was his recommendation....he also rec. high doses of sandostatin. the Drs. differ in w hat they think will help...but no one k nows.
I think seeing Dr. Yao in houston at MDA is worth it....they have some clinical trials that would do well like the RAD001, maybe it is other places. What about proton beam therapy? or ablation for the liver? If you need numbers or further info, contact me back. Take Care. taj brown
