My father is 63 and has been suffering from an undiagnosed brain condition for 4 years now. He initially presented with sudden numbness on one side of his face. They thought it was a dental infection putting pressure on the facial nerve. He was given antibiotics twice and had no change. They removed the tooth they thought to be the cause, that didn't help, so they sent him for a CT scan. They found multiple lesions all through his brain. They sent him to a bigger centre where he spent months getting tested for everything you can name and nothing has been conclusive. The only thing they wont do is a biopsy. He was told that because of the placement of the lesions, it is too risky. Before this, he was never sick, barely had a cold. Currently he is barely able to walk with a walker, is extremely weak, has lost about 50 lbs and chokes on almost everything he tries to eat. His doctor has him on steroids and a chemo drug that comes in a pill form. Forgive me, I can't recall the name of it. They have sent him home, with a pat on the head and said, "Sorry, can't help you." It is heartbreaking to see my once strong father waste away to nothing and not know why. My mother is a saint and is taking great care of him at home but it is very hard on her too. She is afraid that he'll soon have to go into long term care. I have two questions for you, 1. Have you seen cases where there was actually nothing you could do to help the patient? and 2. Can you help my dad?

I heard there may be tours of the set during/after filming, any truth to that?
