You said that you trust the doctors at your current treatment center but I sense some hesitation with their recommendation. How about taking all of his records to a top rated cancer center such as HUP or Johns Hopkins? Im not familiar with what your current team is suggesting, sounds like a fishing expedition. I dont understand how the doc 'knew' your husband had cancer before a biopsy and even with negative biopsy results still 'knows' he has it. I do not have any medical background just have been a patient and active with OCF for over 3 years.
