yes there are

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

I understand your concerns. It appears that chemo is not working any more. We can try to boost his immunity by using products like glutamine, lycopene or curcumin. These can also help in controlling the metastases.

But we have to remember that these work only a few patients.

Hope this helps. I will be available for follow up.
Regards
