Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 , My younger brother 37 just had a lesion removed from his lower back and it is positive for malignant melanoma. I have read a study from Sloan Kettering and malignant melanoma cells lacking DPPIV activity. My brothers digestion has not been right last few months, his description to me seems as if protein is just sitting in his stomach. GI work up showed only sludge in the gallbladder. SLightly dilated hepatic duct. Of course the GI guy wants to send him to a surgeon to r/o gallbladder disease. I think it is more than that alone. I am looking for information to give him to get him on an enzyme that contains DPPIV as I think it could help him. If you could direct me where to find this information,in regards to cancer and DPPIV and what would be the best brand to use I see Kirkmans has a product with it as does Prothera. Family history is ripe with cancers with metastasis to bone, my son has osteopenia, so bone is true weak spot in our family. With the lesion at the base of his spine, a spread scares the heck out of me. Josie told me to ask you she is my guru enzyme resource, and she said you would probably have the info or direct me to it. Thanks for your help, if you can.
