In addition to: conventional treatment, your husband can consider a book by Simonton called "Getting well again" and the books and work of Patrick Quillan about nutrition. Peace and good health.

Talk to oncologist: When the cancer invades the bone , lung, spleen, and heart muscle, the prognosis would be guarded. However this topic should be addressed by the oncologist who takes care of your husband.
