So sorry to hear about your son.
My 24 year old son just passed away last week of testicular cancer.
Just like your son, my son's tumor markers started back up after chemo. I
realize it is upto you, but I would not go for more chemo. It is poison and
does the body more harm than good. Please read Ralph Moss's book Questioning
Chemotherapy.

If he is loosing a lot of weight please put him on hydrazine sulfate right
away.
In addition I would advise to have him on a vitamin therapy from Dr. Fred
Eichhorn. His website is http://www.ncrf.org/
His therapy has saved lots of cancer patients lives. A doctor who treated
Benjamin for his testicular cancer is very enthusiastic about this vitamin
therapy - he spoke to one pancreatic cancer patient who survived thanks to
the therapy.

Please send me your private email address so that I can email you the
protocol.

I wish you strength.
