Dear Doug,
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was advised by researchers in the
cancer field to contact the National Cancer Institute. They can be
reached at 1-800-4CANCER. They will advise as to the latest clinical
trials being conducted for that specific cancer. Also, the have a
web-site at hhtp://www.nci.nih.gov
You might want to also try MD Andnerson in Houston and Memorial Sloan
Kettering in New York. Both have web-sites and are known to be the
finest in cancer research and treatment. You can reach MD Anderson at
http://www.mdanderson.org and Memoriaql Sloan Kettering at
http://www.mskcc.org
I wish you luck and remember, the more information you have including
alternatives, the better you will be. God Bless and I hope I've helped.
John Lehner
