Cindy,
Thanks for your reply. In this case, the doctors were remarkably open
to any effective methodology, though they clearly had little hope;
they forbade nothing, and in fact made a point of getting Cysplatin,
at my friend's request. That drug is used in England, his country,
but generally not in Japan. As he'd found some information suggesting
that drug might work, he asked the doctors to get it, and they did.
One of my points in writing about this sad case is that the door is
wide open for any alternative researchers to make a breakthrough. It
seems to me that when the prognosis is so poor, both patients and at
least some mainstream MDs may be more open to alternatives than
otherwise. Some doctors, as you point out below, are not so open,
sadly.

Jonathan -
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you find answers to your questions.
One
thing to know about traditional doctors, as in the case of a friend of
ours
who has multiple health problems and he is currently being treated by
an
Oncologist. When I gently suggested green tea has been used to shrink
tumors etc. he asked his Doctor and was told if he tried any
alternative
medicine/herbs etc. to go find another doctor. I understand in the
sense
that pharmacology is involved and if you add some things into the mix,
it
could make the doctors job difficult. That being said, if it were my
life I
could not stay away from alternative methods.
