Thebompie4,

The number on Dr. Javles card is (713) 792-2828. But I think you have to call patient affairs for an appt. Also, if you google him somewhere I know his email comes up. So long as there are mets outside the liver transplant is not an option but later on down the road if the chemo kills it all and it stays that way for a while then it may be a possibility to see if I would qualify. He really gave us so much more hope than the previous Dr. He even went over different things to prolong my life if the transplant ends up never being an option. My previous doc just sad we’d keep doing different chemos till the no longer work. I have a son to raise, that was not good enough for me. Where is your husband being treated at? You may talk to your local oncologist about working with Dr. Javle. I do know that several docs do that. Good luck to y’all and remember that God is the ultimate physician!

The reason they gave me about switching docs is if they did it whenever people wanted then they would be doing it all the time every day and it messes with your treatment. Good cells vs Bad cells, I have no idea what they are that was just his way of wording it in English I guess. He did tell me he thinks I probably have the good cells because if I had the bad ones then I would probably just be getting worse and not responding to treatment. The testing isn’t something that will be done right now unless I have enough tissue left which I don’t think I do.

Guess its different switching within MDA, I don’t know. When I first went there I was “cancer of an unknown primary” so that’s why I didn’t get Dr. Javle to start with.
