He's gone through chemo/radiation treatments but obviously something isn't working as the above mentioned things are still there.
My sister and I were talking (she lives in Chicago) and there are some people we've come across who have said that a loved one was suffering from cancer until they tried some form of alternative medicine.
Has anyone tried Eastern Medicine's before..or anything thats not your typical cancer treatments here in North America? Does anyone have any contacts in Calgary that could help or anything like that?
I feel helpless as I live far away, but I figure it can't hurt to ask CP since you guys always have answers.
Thanks!

Your dad and my aunt pretty much have the same symptoms, and it sounds like the same form of cancer. We researched alternative medicines, and didn't find anything that didn't sound hinky. We tried the TLC/cannibis solution and it didn't really work out that well, it didn't change much.
So we're stuck with traditional medicines, however the difference now with my aunt is making her more comfortable as she's beyond any type of cure or hope for a cure.
Good luck with your dad.
