So Sorry to hear that. But don't blame the doctors for this - they're clueless. Blame the medical schools and Big Pharma and the evil Medical Industrial Complex.
The medical collages (not where they go to school but the ones that set standard of care practices) tie the hands of docs all the time. I had a GI doc that lamented there was stuff he wanted to try but couldn’t or he’d lose his license. The watchdogs are fully responsible.

ROAR!
My mother died two months ago from metastasized lung cancer which had spread to her liver.
That doctors had these things and didn't use them is outrageous.
