Hi... So my dad just had his first recurrence after being on Avastin for about 4 months. The tumor is spreading quickly and he seems to be rapidly declining. His oncologist said there's nothing more they can do. I say F* that. He's a big guy, so my mom needs help. He's 64, which makes him ineligible for Medicare (we're in the U.S.), so the doctors are recommending in-home hospice care. (My mom doesn't want to send him to a nursing home.) My brother and I think that we should try Temodar again or Optune, but with in-home hospice care, my dad is not eligible for treatment. Does anyone know any way around this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
