Suggest Treatment For A Knee Tumor
Hello
A friend of ours has a very large benign knee tumor. She has had 2 operations to remove it and it has returned. In the second operation her nerve was cut and now had operation to repair that nerve. She know longer can live with the pain and the tumor is in the back of the knee spreading to the front. The specialists in Zurich (we live in Switzerland) have told her if they operate and cut a nerve or capillary they may have to amputate her lower leg. Is there any other option other than surgery. Radiation? Alternative medicine? Isnt htere a way to shrink the benign tumor? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you
