Anthony, you are certainly in my prayers. As to why your Doctors made the decisions they did, I have no answer for that. I can only say that every Doctor has his/her own regimen. Even with my wife, we had one Oncologist at Kaiser, who did not agree with the USC Oncologist at all. Thought his recommendation was way too experimental and wanted us to follow Kaisers approved plan. After doing my homework, I found Kaisers plan to be a 15 year old regimen that offered no hope at all. It was a bandaid type of treatment. The plan from the USC Doctor was in fact, cutting edge treatment, but Kaiser went along with it at my insistance. All I can say is, I'm glad I kept persuing other avenues of treatment. My wife continues to be in complete remission, which I can only attribute to the aggressive treatment and a miracle. Nov. 7th marked the one year point for her remission. I can only hope and pray that it continues.
I wish you all the best in your fight and I will keep you in my prayers.
