Help: Your attention and information may save a life

Here comes a really fatal news for me, one of my friend was diagnosed as yolk sac tumor, we are very anxious because it is believed in China that this illness is hard to be treated. Now the hospital is doing chemotherapy for him.

His tumor is almost 12*13 centimetres large. We are eager to know if it has been really fatal or there's still a window for him to recover. Now we can't rule out the possibility that we send him abroad to be treated, if there is still hope.

If one of the members of Storm2k is expert of treatment of tumors or knows an expert, or has useful information about the treatment of the tumor, please send me a private message and I will respond with my email for you to write to me. Thanks and request prayer for my poor friend.....

Is google blocked where you are? If not use it. there seems to be some good info available. Of course we in Houston have the No. 1 Cancer Hospital in the world at M.D. Anderson. I'm sure their site has a lot of info also.
