      Thank you so much for your reply.  It's nice to know others out there are just waiting too and the doctor isn't just dropping the ball.  It's also nice to know you have continued on it and will for a year.  They have completely stopped treating my dad at this point, which is why I was so upset.  He is responding to it.  He noticed a significant shrinkage after the 3rd treatment.  Size decreased and tumor became squishy, which I guess is a great sign.  Seemed crazy to me to stop treatment as it is clearly working. Hang in there yourself!  Hopefully you'll get the same reaction.

      Thank you so much for respoding!  So what did your husband do after he finished treatment?  Did he just wait?  Did the tumors continue to shrink?  Is he clean now?  Any further treatment?  Sorry for all the questions.  Just so lost.
