Question: My father aged 79 has been diagnosed with "renal cell carcinoma with bonemets" and has just undergone palliative radiation therapy for his right femur which made him immobile about a month ago. Chemotherapy and surgical interventions do not seem to be an option in the opinion of the learned doctor treating him who is exceptionally patient and extra ordinarily compassionate. My father has undergone right radical nephrectomy in november 1990 (almost 25 years ago). He takes veltam f daily for his prostate enlargement - assumed based on PSA and free PSA results. He has also been prescribed thyrocin 12.5 and atocor (one each everyday) since two days. In addition he takes some laxatives like kayam churna and unienzyme. I have consulted two more doctors (Physicians to find out if he can be given some medicines or supplements to increase his overall health) but they also told that what is being done is the best course available. I am enclosing the PET CT scan and bone scan reports with this question which will show that the other areas where it has spread has not been treated - Again well explained by the treating doctor. I researched on the internet and found that there is something called as internal palliative radiation therapy that requires certain radio isotopes of radium and strontium to be injected and these will against all the locations where the malignancy has developed. Unfortunately for me the respected doctor treating him told that such treatment is not available. My request is to let me know if there is any such facility anywhere in the country or even nearby asian countries and how much will it cost. I would be very grateful for an early reply as I want my father to be as comfortable as he can be at this ripe old age. If possible, please also let me know if the doctor treating him has not told me something to avoid advancing the imminent trauma in the family.
