Rupert, I'm terribly sorry to read this. Words fail....
But my health care mind doesn't...
As an experienced RN who is very open to alternative therapies I have to say that vit C, sodium bicarb, etc are NOT effective in any cancer. Period. Really and truly there are no valid scientific studies and the entire supposition that you can alter the acid/alkali balance in the body is absurdly against everything we know which is that the body's pH MUST stay in a very narrow range for us to be alive.
What I would MOST want to know is, do you have access to a recognized Center of Excellence for this specific disease? Are you in a position to travel for the best possible specialized care?
I'm searching for links.

Rupert, what Janet says is accurate as I understand things. If at all possible (look for support services for kids battling cancer, there are a LOT out there) and try to get somewhere that is a specialist hospital for cancer. For an example, I'd suggest M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, there are other programs out there of course, and they all share data between each other, being on the forefront of things. Oftentimes, the places that aren't specialized are doing battle with weapons that are a decade, or more, old.
