Where to go (outside of India) for treatment?

Hi All,

My father had his autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) on 21st February, 2015.

On the 76th day post transplant (10th May), he had immense pain all over his back and thighs. The pain was so bad that he was not able to even lie down or sit.

He had an MRI on 11th May which showed myeloma spots all over his spine. The doctor told it was extamedullar. He also has become a nonsecretor, as nothing was shown in his M-spike / kappa-lambda.

Now, no more medicines are available in India, and our doctor says he could only repeat VTD-PACE cause no other medicines are here in India.

We are very scared and we now want to go outside India and want the best for my dad.

Please suggest some good doctors and please suggest where can we go now?

Thanks
