We have been through,amputation,lymphnode resection,. Now I am getting radiation and chemo with 5 fu. A cat scan showed the tumor is back and agressive .The oncoligist is even unsure what we can do next. Any help?
Dear Al
Sorry to hear about your condition.
I would check all the major cancer centers for experimental protocols. At least it is worth a chance. Ask your oncologist to give you the names or to check for you.
More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its urban campuses by calling (1 800 653 6568). We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
