So sorry to hear such devastating news. Prayers are going to you and your family, and especially your grandson.

Hubert and wife

(((Ken))) I'm so sorry to learn of this. What a tough road for him and all your family! Here's some info that yall might consider passing on to his parents and the doctors.......(I just sent this to my son last week.....)

If you "google" the phrase "Doxycycline treatment for cancer" it'll give you a ton of info and articles to peruse on the subject. http://www.rense.com/general58/anti.htm

Antibiotic (Doxycycline)
Can 'Turn Off Cancer' From Dr. Alan Cantwell, MD

Regarding this BBC News report, October 10, 2004........
For more than a century a small group of researchers, including myself, have implicated bacteria in cancer (see my book, THE CANCER MICROBE, Aries Rising Press). Now it turns out that a common antibiotic -- doxycycline -- can turn off a gene in mice that leads to liver cancer.
Let's hope it doesn't take another century for scientists and physicians to follow up on this, and to explain why they keep ignoring cancer-causing bacteria. For more information on "cancer microbes" -- go to google.com and type in those exact words.
Regards,
Alan Cantwell, M.D.
Antibiotic Can 'Turn Off Cancer'

BBC News
10-10-4
Scientists have shown that a common antibiotic can turn off cancer cells in mice, offering hope of new treatments for cancer patients.
The antibiotic worked by turning off a gene called Myc, which is known to trigger cancer.
Mice remained cancer free for as long as they took the drug. When it was stopped they developed liver cancer, the Stanford University team found.
Cancer experts said the Nature study held promise for human cancer drugs.
Cancer Switch
The findings might also apply to cancers of the breast, bowel and prostate, the researchers hope.
This is because all of these cancers, as well as liver cancer, begin in cells that line the body called epithelial cells.
According to Cancer Research UK, the gene may contribute to as many as one in seven cancer deaths.
The Stanford scientists studied mice whose liver cells had been altered to carry a modified Myc gene known to cause cancer.
Myc controls cell division. Unlike the normal version of the gene, the modified version stayed permanently switched on, meaning cells were constantly dividing and some became cancerous.
Feeding the mice the antibiotic doxycyline turned the faulty Myc gene off so cancer growth was blocked.
When the researchers stopped the doxycycline the mice developed aggressive liver cancer.
Reintroducing doxycycline into their feed not only turned Myc back off, blocking further cancer growth, but it also turned the cancer cells back to normal.
Reversing Cancer
Lead researcher Dr Dean Felsher said: "The exciting thing is you can turn cancer cells into something that appears to be normal."
But he said even though the cells looked normal, they still had the ability to become cancerous if the antibiotic were to be stopped.
This could explain why some cancers come back after people have had chemotherapy, he said.
"This is a terrible cancer. Anything that is encouraging in liver cancer may be important," he said.
Dr Elaine Vickers, science information officer for Cancer Research UK, said: "The Myc gene is known to be overactive in many types of cancer.
"Estimates suggest that the gene may contribute to as many as one in seven cancer deaths.
"This research is very interesting.
"It adds to the weight of evidence suggesting that drugs blocking Myc might be effective cancer treatments in the future."

Ken~ I have not gotten the chance to talk to you much and for that it makes comforting on this subject all the more difficult. But my awkwardness is nothing but pale when I think of what your family and you face. May all that you try be met with success and I really do hope that your grandson gets this out of his body. It is a horrible thing and although I only have kids and no grandbabies yet, I cannot but imagine how absolutely precious your grandson is to you. I am so sorry you and he and your whole family and friends have to go through this. I hope that his and you get to see all the wonders he has in him happen. I send my love,

Decki

Unfortunately, I know a bit of how you feel. Now I am sitting here crying, too.
