Linda – thanks for the suggestion.  He's tried the stretchy/fabric wristbands, but we'll try the electronic one.  Do you need two of them, one for each wrist, or is one enough?

Hi, Frank, and thanks for your input.  Surgery on the liver mets has been ruled out for two reasons.  The first is the size of the mets:  the 2 largest are each about 10 x 14 cm, and surgery is considered pretty risky at that size.  The second reason is that he is only stable because of the trial drugs, and he would have to be off-trial to be eligible for surgery, and being off-treatment could potentially cause further metastatis.  I'll review the link you provided – thank you – and ask our doctors about some of these meds that we haven't tried.
