Another update on my Dad
-He did 35 treatments of Radiation & 6 chemos with Cisplatin
-didn't work, it has metastasized to his hip(iliac) bone and has a bump on the top of his head
-Oncologist said not much else we can do, but offered Taxotere each week for 3 weeks
-received 2 doses & growth still happening
-My father is frustrated & yelled at his oncologist, oncologist walked out on us!
-I wanted him to start an immunotherapy trial and oncologist said no because he needs to be up and about 75% of day
-offered methotrexate, but my father refused
-Now awaiting to get into clinical trial in the #1 center
-I just read the last CT scan of head & shows scalp metastasis, probably why it's showing up as bumps on his head
-Can't wait to get into clinical trial, hoping this will help
