Just thinking ahead for the sure return of my cancer as we know there is no cure for the beast. Keeping aware of options since I am not totally confident that whoever I am seeing is up to date. I discovered AC-225 and LU-177 and was not advised that a trip to Germany to be an option.

I will scratch that one. What are your thoughts on Proton radiation and pin point application for a returning bone met and usage on lymph nodes in the groin?Local hospital does have a proton machine. Actually there are two close by. One in Flint and the other in Beaumont hospital in royal Oak Michigan

I don't think anyone thinks its a good idea to go after individual metastases when more than about 3 have been identified. If the bone met is painful, a single shot of SBRT can provide relief.

I recall that you are not an advocate of alternative supplements. But are there some things that you do in addition to SOC ? Also, what are your thoughts on Metformin. and the dosage?Thanks
