Dear Jeannine,
I believe a Doctor Glen Justice at the Fountain Valley Regional Cancer
Center in Fountain Valley, California has been administering a
chemotherapy which is new called Daunaxome, a derivative of Adriamyacin
but that it is different from the fact that this new chemotherapy is
administered directly to the tumor or the affected area and radiation is
or was given at the same time or just prior or subsequent to it.
The Doctors Cancer Center is in affiliation with U.S.C. NOrris Cance
Center and very, very reputable as it is on the N.C.I.'s comprehensive
list of 50 or so hospitals.
You may want to contact them for 2nd opinions.
I will be sending you a copy of this message as well.
Also you may wish to contact the N.C. I. (National Cancer Institute) at
1-800-4cancer and question them about other facilites that are
administering the treatments that you will be starting.
Good luck and God Bless YOu
Marty Auslander
