I would suggest you attempt to get him to one as soon as possible. This is unfortunately why a cancer center is so important to get treated at. They use a whole team of experts who are much more familiar with this type of cancer. Best of luck with everything! If you are having trouble dealing with this, please seek out some professionals to help you. http://cancercenters.cancer.gov/cancer_centers/cancer-centers-list2.html
