Twice, I've tried to get my husband into MD Anderson. He has a very aggressive cancer. Recently, he took 2 weeks off MVAC chemo to get a 2nd opinion from UT Southwestern in Dallas. By the end of the 2 weeks, he was in so much pain from cancer spread that he was ready to get back on chemo. MD Anderson won't take him while he is undegoing treatment. But, if he stops treatment, the cancer rears it's ugly head and his pain is unbearable from bone mets within 2 weeks. Is it hopeless? How can I get him into MD Anderson? We faxed his records to them only for them to call and say they couldn't take him while under treatment. Any ideas?Ps he was diagnosed last August with stage IV with bone mets.
