I am trying to discover other treatments for my son. He just turned 9.
He was diagnosed with ALL in 2004 when he was 2 1/2. He has relapsed 5
times. He had a 'succesful' bone marrow transplant at UCSF in the
summer of 2008 but his Leukemia has come back twice in the "sanctuary
sites"- last winter in his testicle in the form of a tumor and this
winter in the form of a tumor behind his left eye- all the while his
bone marrow has remained clean. We are desperately looking into other
treatments since our doctors have told us that his case is unique, and
they "probably will not be able to cure him".
If you have any suggestions or places to go to that might help save
his life- please please please! share.

I would take him to Mayo Clinic or MD Anderson ASAP.

I can not speak for your hospital. But I know that Nationwide Children s hospital in Columbus OH has done well with our daughter.
We will not take her any place but there.
They are the best.
