Hello Guys,

I have just been to India to see my father. He has completed Electron Beam Radiations second time along with 60mg of taxol weekly once. His conditon after radiation has not improved and he is in lot of pain.

I met doctors and they are not giving us hope. They say that extensive chemo at this stage would have more disadvantages than benefits. Instead they are recommending Immunotheraphy. They suggested drug named Biomab (By Biocon Company which is equivalent of Erbitux (Mon-clone Antibody). Have anyone heard about this drug Biomab or taking it?

They say that this is a very advanced stage and since it recurred within 6 months, it is extensively spreading and may be terminal. THis is shocking for us. Is this it? IS there no treatment avialable now? What should we do to fight this horrible diesease?

Anybody who is having similar issue like skin nodules after treatment, please let me know what shd we do now?

Someone told me about Johnwayne hospitals clinical trial. Is there any alternative medicine that ppl are using that helped? Kindly pour in your opinions and thoughts.

Thanks,

Krishna
