Dear members,

I have read about Issels treatment center many times online. Any input on weather this place is worth trying. My father is a stage IV stomach cancer patient. Chemo did NOT work at all, and his cancer is spreading to area around the lungs. I'm looking for alternative procedures. Location according to website is in Mexico. Any other locations??? Also its a non-profit organization. No offense, but does this leverage the quality of work and medications in there, no offense again. We have started our journey in M.D. Anderson (Texas) thats for the chemo treatment, which did not work. Any recommended centers, even if expensive! Please give your input weather good or bad. This may save my father's life! Please!!!

Thank you all

Hi,

I'm really sorry for your Dad's failing health. I can't help you on that issue of the centre, but do wish that you get the help you need.

I've only heard negative things about the treatment in Mexico's "alternative" treatment centers.

MD Anderson is an awesome cancer institute. Sadly, some people are chemo resistant. My best friend was one of them.

You're in my prayers and hope you find what you're looking for.
