I was truly sorry to hear about your mom; but there is still plenty of hope
and if her Doctor is not giving her this hope, then she needs to go to one
that will. I don't know why we are all so afraid of changing doctors,
including myself. I will pay a very heavy price for not changing doctors;
which I am not going to go into; but I know what I am speaking of. I
believe I sent you the sites we use most, if not I am enclosing them now.
Were I you, I would go to Medicine On Line and go through the whole site.
Do include the archives for the past 3 year's. Then there are several sites
regarding brain, do you know the location? Has a biopsy been done? I
believe Onco Link is good on the brain. Our prayers and I hope I have
helped you some. Lillian

(On the Home Page of Medicine On Line (MOL) go to
Medline. This is a service of the National Library of Medicine which
provides literature searches in the medical journals. When you enter the
name of the cancer it will return articiles from the
last 3 years. The cancer links contains patient files. The Medicine
On Line Cancer Services are listed there including some quite good
international sites.)
