My sentiments exactly sandy! And I agree that drs. Can't approve of anything outside heir "area of expertise" I know they are always worried about liability etc... But I also believe that without people out there who think outside they box - there would be little or no advancement. A lot of the time scientists just build on old work done by tried and true methods - his leads to some advancement - but sometimes you need to scrap everything and try something new - the problem with doing that is you have to be at the point of no return and no one wants to get that way when you are playing with people's lives. This personalized chemo/treatment to me sounds as if it does sit inside the venue of the "norm" it's not like you are discontinuing treatment - you are actually fine tuning it. yet it's still hard to make a decision like this because your father's life hangs in the balance... It's the - what if? syndrome that accompanies ths disease! It's not a decision I would like to make for fear of being wrong... Hugs!!! This is stressful. Hopefully he continues to be strong! And heal!
