I'm glad to hear that your husband's surgery went well and it sounds like really good news. The treatment you mentioned (sterotastic radio) is not part of my experience and I've not read about that approach. Hopefully there is someone else reading this site who can answer that specific question. Remember when I said that in my opinion, a RCC patient needs to take charge of his/her own treatment decisions? If it were me, I would ask your doctor to explain what the other doctor met by "not ethical or moral". You mentioned "too many at one time" which may be part of the answer but if this is the case what approach would they recommend? And why? You might want to ask these same questions to the additonal RO's when you get to talk to them. Just don't let that process drag out very long and delay your husband's treatment. Also, please prepare yourself in the event that you are given some bad news but as a RCC patient I always wanted my doctor to be open and honest with me and my wife. We needed complete information to make our best decision. I can't help but ask what happened to your pursuit of the newer treatment approaches such as Sutent or Nexavar? These two drugs have had tremendous success. I know that your insurance company has really pushed back about covering the cost. What is your primary doctor saying about these two options? Does he feel that your husband is a good candidate for either treatment? Ask him to be honest. If he does not feel that your husband is a good candidate, why not? If he feels that he is a good candidate, what is he doing to help your husband get this treatment? I know for a fact that Pfizer has a drug cost assistance program for Sutent and I would think that Bayer would have something similair for Nexavar. It is fair for you to expect that your doctor work harder for you and your husband. Ask him this question---what would he do if HE were the patient? And why. I hope this has been helpful. See you soon.
