Thanks for the responses. As for my friend’s doctor, she has visited both UCSF and MD Anderson in Texas. She will be going forward with MD Anderson. Last week, she had tests run and they want to run more tests….they see spots outside her liver (pancreas, intestines, I think). If the tumor has metastisized, surgery will not be an immediate option but rather aggressive chemotherapy to stop the spreading. She is considering going back for back to back tests rather than fly to Texas and have gaps between tests (days). The first available date is the week of September 14 and the doctors state that the wait should not hurt her.

I did research on a dendritic cells study being explored by a Dr. Gorter. Although the article I have read pertains to other cancers (pancreatic, breast cancer), the theory sounds interesting and plausable. Pharmaceutical companies are not interested because no drug is involved…it uses your bodies dendritic cells…You can view the article at http://www.odemagazine.com; current issue; cancer vaccine. If you get a chance to read it, please let me know what you think.
