Hi Swati, I understand your frustration but probably your mother is being treated in a wrong hospital under a wrong onco. A good CCC does not work the way you are mentioning. My father had agressive treatment both the times and even at this point of time his onco is suspecting another recurrence but he says it is too early to conclude and he explained me very correctly why he is waiting to 3 months to be over before a biopsy or PET/MRI.

Now regarding Onco's decision not to do Chemo and/or Radiation, it is always better to get a second opinion even if your mother has to travel to Delhi (RGCI) or Mumbai (Tata Memorial). At my end, I can offer to accompany your parents in case they plan a trip to Delhi.

The miracle cancer drug may be immunotherapy but this is not the only option that he should be looking at. There is still scope for unilateral radiotherapy as Amit's mom is getting.
