Systemic options: Sorry to hear about your situation. Would visit with your medical oncologist for further systemic options. Depending on what chemotherapy agents were used previously, there may be other options. Best wishes to you.

NCI: It does not seem as though surgery is an option for you at this time. Body-wide treatment such as chemotherapy is going to be the preferred way to treat this. Seek care at a national cancer institute designated comprehensive cancer center. This will give you the best access to available clinical trials. Another option is to go to the website www.Cancer.Gov and click in the clinical trial link!
