THanks for your email Amy. Sorry for replying late as I do not come online too often these days being in India.

As far as nutrition and caloric intake is concerned, I think we are managing it well as suggested by a dietician...

Presently, there is no treatment given to my father other than some Antibiotics for reducing swelling. Second dose of MTX (chemo) was recommended by doctor but we refused to take it. First time when my father was given this, his condition worsened...

Dont know what treatment to give now... Biomab (Erbitux equivalent) also did not help much so that is on hold presently..

Homeopathic medicine is the only one which we are giving right now... Any suggestions for reducing swelling or any new immunotheraphy drug, please let me know..

Thanks,

Krishna
