I don't pray a lot. Maybe that'll make it more effective. Hope everything will turn out all right! I’ll include him in my prayers. I don’t pray a lot. Maybe that’ll make it more effective.

You would trade places with him in a heartbeat. That, my friend, is the unquantifiable love between father and son: you'd swap each other out. Be well, David. It has been sublime coming across you over these last couple days. May our Lord be with you. J- David,

I'm not sure this would be of any help but some Canadian scientists have recently discovered that a common drug used for rare metabolic disorders seems to have therapeutic effects with some cancers. Some studies have been done and some people have had very positive results. Since this drug has been in use for many years for a different condition, it is considered safe and can - to the best of my knowledge - be taken along side chemotherapy or any other conventional treatment. Unfortunately it is not patentable, so no big pharmaceutical company cares to pursue this. On the other hand that also means this drug should be easily accessible with a doctor's prescription and it should also be fairly cheap. There is a special website set up for cancer patients who would like more information on this drug. It contains links to various studies as well as informative explanations and a collection of other people's experiences with the drug. This site is here: http://www.thedcasite.com/ The DCA page from the university of Alberta (where it was first discorvered it may be effective against cancer): http://www.depmed.ualberta.ca/dca/ A Canadian medical center that administers DCA off label to (usually terminal) cancer patients. Has some info on the progression of their patients: http://www.medicorcancer.com/DCAtherapyData.html Many other websites and forums exist on this subject and are available by searching 'DCA' or 'dichloroacetate' on Google. I hope this helps and again all the best to you and your family! All the best to you, your family and your father.
