Clara....you can go to
www.cancer.gov/search/viewclinicaltrials
I hope that link works ...or just go to the
www.cancer.gov site and look for clinical trials and where they are doing them and see if any look promising to you.
I find it frustrating that they seem to be as bad at diagnosing male bladder cancer as they do with women. A CT scan with dye would have shown anything in the bladder...why were they doing MRI's? Since your husbands cancer is so progressed you might also want to consider Cancer Treatment Centers of America...they use the traditional therapies along with naturopathic medicine and nutritional therapy...you can read about them on their site at
www.cancercenter.com. A friend of mine who had ovarian cancer diagnosed at stage 4 went through all the standard chemo to no avail and they sent her home with no hope...she went to one of the Cancer Treatment Centers as a last resort.......it worked. She's still with us. It may not work for everyone but i know i'd grasp at the last straw.
And JC i find it unbelievable that your husband went from superficial bladder cancer to stage 4....was he getting his check ups?...Did he try the BCG therapy. What happened?
This is why i keep saying get a second opinion ... go to the best doctors...go to the best hospitals. Pat
