I was sorry to hear about your Dad and have attached the sites we use to
help us. I would suggest you call the National Cancer Inst. at
1-800-4-cancer, they will be able to give you all the trials; etc. here in
the USA. I would also suggest that you go to MD Anderson and
Slogan-Ketterin Hos. sites #'s attached. We welcome you and I am sure you
will receive more information from folks more knowledgeable than I; so
please look for more messages. Please keep us posted on your father.
Sincerely, Lillian
