She underwent Radiation and Chemo Therapy which shrank the tumor, but upon a physical examination the surgeon said to operate and remove the cancer and that she would need a colostomy which was done. This was done in August of 2005. After recovery from sugery she started to have lesions again and after biopsy, the doctors said the cancer had returned. The cancer did not spread to any other organs. It is now December and they left her with the option to have more Chemo Therapy and said it would probably not help her. I recently have been researching different treatments that might help her. The one that I am interested in is Focused Ultrasound Therapy or HIFU. If anyone knows where I can find someone who does this type of therapy on the east coast it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Don T. Don t. Fri, 16 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT
