Shariff. Sadly I am not sure about the medical system in India, however I can say for the few people that have been on here for that country - I've noticed that they don't seem to follow the standard guidelines for care and treatment of this disease - which is unfortunate. It's hard to tell without knowing the full extent of what is going on with him but if he's not in a large city with a top hospital that treats cancer, then perhaps he needs to get there. Chemo is not known to cure this cancer, sometimes you may get a reduction in size of the tumor, but more often than not It only holds it at bay for a short time - the human body is adaptive eventually it adjusts to the poison of the chemo and then the chemo no longer is effective. This happens rather quickly sometimes. So it sounds to me like they are putting you off. Again I'm not sure of your system there but here - if a dr can't do the surgery you can find out who is the best and ask to be referred. Hugs
