Cancer Treatment Centers of America or Oasis of Hope

My brother has been battling colon cancer for the last three years. The cancer is in his abdomen, lung, liver, lymph nodes, and rectum. He is now going to USC Hospital for clinical trials. The first trial did not help (25% growth) so he is preparing for the next option. He also has made a n appointment with an immunologist in Huntington Beach, CA who was recommended to us by Patrick Quillen, author of "Beating Cancer With Nutrition." I just hope that he is getting on the right track to proper nutrition to battle this beast. I worry as to whether he is getting the best treatment possible. I have heard of Cancer Treatment Centers of America and today a coworker told me about the Oasis of Hope in Mexico. Has anyone had experience with either these places?

    Chris:
    I, personally have not had experience with these centers. Try doing a "search" of the discussion groups at the bottom of this page. I did so and found 30 replies to "Cancer Treatment Centers of America". Also, you may want to search other discussion groups. Hope this helps! (I pray for everyone in this group every day!)
