I understand what you are going thru. Of course you only want the best possible outcome for your father. You are a great asset to him and a wonderful advocate. Keep up the good work. If it were me, I would go to another cancer center and hear what they can do for him. It doesnt hurt to try and if they cant do anything differently with different results then you will know. Good luck!!!!
