I am not able to help you on finding options in Austraila; but I am sure
someone on mol will have some helpful hints for you. You are right, you do
need to know all the treatment options to make an informed decision. Keep
us posted and stay on line and someone will help you. Your friend, Lillian

>very difficult to find info. on clinical trials, treatments, oncologists
>here in Aus. Any suggestions or links would be gratefully received. I feel
>that we need to know what our options are before we commit to a particular
>treatment. I am an enrolled nurse, studying the degree in nursing and as
>the only member of the family with any medical knowledge am constantly
>being asked what is available, etc. I don't mind doing this, but it means
>taking a crash course in Cancer, especially of the colon. The hardest part
>of all this is that I love Lisa so much and I want to make sure we do
>everything possible to keep her well without suffering.

>Thanks for caring, stay well and happy
