Hello everybody
I'm hoping that I'm allowed to be in this forum as I'm not a cancer patient. My hubby has been diagnosed with bowel cancer stage 4 last year. Two lots of different chemo combos without success. His oncologist told us "there's nothing else he can do for Russ". We have been researching the complete web and came across the Hallwang clinic in Germany.
He have singed the consent forms to get his cancer sample sent to them. Has anyone from Australia went to this clinic.? Your thoughts about it?
Thank you for your valuable time in reading my post.

Hi @Aussielaura, I haven't had personal experience myself but have heard of this clinic & their very good results with all different types of cancer. I think it is very expensive but they have access to drugs we don't have & do a lot with immunotherapy. Good luck to you and your husband!1

Involves a discussion of someone who has gone to this centre. If you click on her name you can private message her. I am unsure if she remains active.
Goodluck. Kath x1 -

Hi @Aussielaura, you are welcome here, but I also want to give you some resources that you might find more helpful. Bowl Cancer Australia has a lot of resources and also a peer to peer support network. Cancer Council has a forum and may have discussions about bowel cancer.1

If he has to fly over there, make sure your passports are in order. Also I would suggest he wear those pressure socks on the plane. In the mean time get one of those juicer things ( I forget the name of it) and put in everything red or black in fruits and vegs. Also take high doses of vitamin C. It can help slow progression down a little. Good luck with it all.
