Going Beyond Standard Immunotherapy

@rkschaef- Medicine is a 2-edged sword. Sometimes it's easy with a clean cut and other times it's messy and doesn't sever completely. A lot of people seem to sail through chemo or immunology and others don't. I hope that your dad can find the right one. Immunology works by triggering your own immune system to fight your disease/cancer, but instead of fighting it it fights your whole body and damages tissues. Even with tests and statistics it's still a whack-a-mole! When will your dad make his decision?

Thank you @dutchw, I am happy that you didn't experience any of the harsher side effects. Thank you for the detail on Gabapentin as well - that is helpful! Thank you also for your prayers for my dad, both he and my family appreciate it!
@merpreb It truly is a whack-a-mole - couldn't have come up with a better reference! I am hoping he can find the right treatment as well, it seems as if it will be one of those "wait and see" type of outcomes for treatment at this point. He will make his decision in the upcoming week, so hoping that whichever he chooses will help in some way. Thank you!
