Yesterday, Gopilila and I met with her oncologist, Dr. Arlan Fuller (http://www.dfhcc.harvard.edu/membership/member-profile/member/688/0/) . He felt that there is no current treatment protocols that can address Gopilila's condition. He suggested stopping the chemo (because her cancer had grown through the first two rounds of chemo) and he did not suggest raditation. He felt that any intervention would cause more harm than good (she may lose the little reasonable health that she has). He felt that she had a few months left.... at the most.
We asked him about any experimental treatments that might be available. He referred us to his colleague, who we hope to meet next week, to see if she can qualify for a clinical trial on a biological agent (some kind of pill) that is being experimented on.
