Sally -- thanks for the info. I did look at the NIH trial and it is still accepting patients. Will try to find out if my father is eligible.
I will keep my fingers crossed per bebop and others that the numbers go up on their own, but it is good to know this is an option.
And thanks Heather for the referral!
Overnight, I think we have now convinced my dad to go for a second opinion. He indicates that the reason for his unwillingness for him to do stem cells is that although the doctor originally thought his chances were 30% with stem cells, after seeing his rapid degradation, thinks there is only a 10% likelihood of success with stem cells.
We'll see what Tuesday's appointment and results bring. I appreciate everyone's help as this has provided a number of good questions to ask the doctor then.
