Hi Ann

If there are new medicines out there, your husbands oncologist would be the one to know. They are required to stay up on the latest treatment options.

You could also consider a second opinion from a different group of oncologists, or try a different hospital.

Hope that helps,

Kerry

I do not think his Dr. knows of any new meds, is why I have asked this question....He even asked me to give him any names I found on the internet...so that is why I have asked this question on here....If I can find a name that I can give him besides 5FU, that would be a help..
Thanks, Ann
