Hello All,
My husband Kyle is currently in his second round of this fight with oral cancer. I want to be prepared if we are told sometime that there is nothing more they can do. We did ask our Dr. about clinic trials and he suggested we research Memorial Sloan, MD Anderson and John Hopkins. He said most clinic trials do not work but it�s something to try if we get to that point.
When is this cancer so far that they can�t do anymore? Are there any medications or procedures being done in other countries that aren�t approved yet in the U.S.? I want to research and be prepared with a �plan C� if need be. I have read past comments on this board regarding homeopathic remedies so I hate to even ask but I will. Any luck with anything? My husband turned 43 last week and we have a 2 and 3 year old. He is going to fight this as long as possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Tamara
