Further to my previous email, I'd like to add that my son did not try the
vitamin therapy. It was too late for him when we found out about it. But
maybe it could be of help for your son. Please if you send me your email
address I may be able to let you know more about other therapies, such as
for example ozone (ozone steam saunas to help reduce the tumors)

Thank you.
Marga.
