Hello,

I'm new to this group and I am posting this on behalf of my very good friend who's father is battling stage IV esophageal cancer. He has treated with chemotherapy about four times now, goes into remission and the cancer always comes back. His family is considering taking him off the chemotherapy permanently and letting him go with God. He's in pretty bad shape. I am a chronic Lyme disease sufferer and have seen the amazing things that alternative medicine has done with my disease, but have very little knowledge about any effective alternative routes for this cancer type in late stage. I was hoping if anyone on here had any promising resources with regard to alternatives to chemo, information or knowledgeable doctors that I could pass along to my friend I would be so grateful. They live in the MD/DC area. Thank you.

Mel
