His cancer has spread to one spot on the right lobe of his liver. Right now I am trying to get him to a surgeon in New Orleans about doing the Covedian Evident Microwave Ablation. Our oncologist has concerns about anything being done because of his mets to his lungs. I have seen writings from people who interact on Colon Talk that have had procedures done to their liver even with them having mets to other areas. You said in your last response to me that we should seek out clinical trials. Over the last 3 years I have asked our oncologist whether there are clinical trials out there that my husband could participate. Her answer is always-- none. Is there a service or organization somewhere that can take his data and tell us a clinical trial for him? We will go anywhere. Thank you so much for all you do. Patsy Dr. Lenz:

Empirical studies would be interesting. However, as a longtime vegetarian and 5 plus daily coffee drinker at the time of my diagnosis (1999)of Stage III rectal cancer, I might be that anomaly. Currently, ten years after and only a 3-5 cup daily coffee drinker and still vegetarian, still at NED, perhaps there is a positive effect, after all. Thanks for the information.
