Re: kidney cancer
Sassy,
Looks like they are making progresses in the area. Ask your Dad's doctor/nurse if they can get a copy of the full-text of this article for you. I don't really quite understand the title, but I like the tone of the abstract.
Please take good care of yourself while you are trying to take care of your Dad. And do know that we'll be praying for him and your whole family.

Kidney cancer: Overall survival is an unsuitable primary end point
Giuseppe Di Lorenzo & Carlo Buonerba
Abstract
Treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has evolved from being predominantly cytokine-based to being grounded in the use of drugs targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor, and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways. An improved understanding of the molecular biology underlying mRCC has led to the development of several new targeted drugs, each with convincing evidence that they provide a clinical benefit, in first-line and second-line usage and in different risk groups.
