My father is a very sick man, an yet nobody can figure out what is wrong wth him. His is full of tumors, but they are cancer free. He is getting confused. He has lost around 80lbs, an is week. They can not figure out where the tumors are generating frm, or wha is causing it. Recently he hasbeen complaning of bein stiff all over and cant hardley move. Sometime when he moves he moves as if he may be paralyized. He has a growth sratrtng on te back of his neck, I wondered if it could have attched it' self to his brain stem. He has had 4 sugries. 3 removing tumors, 1 removing his spleen. The first sugr was to take a tumor outof his right groin, now about a year later one has grown back in the same spot. All I want to find out is hat is wrong wt my father. No body seems to know. And I can't stand watching him wither away. If you have anyideas as to hat may be wrong with my father please let me know
Thank you for your time in reading this.

Perhaps he lived in a polluted area. I've heard great things about fasting. Go to the local haelth food store, they have lots of good recommendations. Also in Canada there is a particular type of shot that supposed really helps with cancer. Susan Somers got it for her breast cancer. Perhaps you can google her and cancer. Best Wishes!

All I can say is get a second opinion. This could be anything,
tell his Dr. to refer him to a specialist. They can run tests on
him, like a biopsy, This is where they take a piece of the growth
and send it to a lab to have it tested and they will keep at it until
they find what they are looking for. In the mean time they will
keep him on medication, until they get a result back from the
lab. Once they do then they will treat it with the right medication.
They know what they are doing.

I don't know where you live but one of the best places to be checked out is a teaching hospital. These hospitals tend to have more informed doctors and instead of having one doctor searching for the answer you will have several. Best of luck!

He might be suffering from some rare disease. He should see specialists like oncologist, neurologist... and undergo a battery of tests in order to find out. Be brave, try and support him any way you can. If you feel you need help as well, contact your school psychologist. Han in there !!!!! Life is never as black or as pink as you think !!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all a new doctor sounds like good advice, second, where do you live?, get to a bigger city, with an experienced hospital and doctors. NOW

I would suggest that you have him see an infectious disease specialist, an oncologist, a rheumatologist, and a neurologist. I would see each of these as they all might have a different perspective of what might be going on... there are many different rare diseases that each of these doctors treat.

Has your father been tested for Guillan-Barre Syndrome? Very rare disease of the blood... Symptoms sound familiar... You can find out about it on the web.
