Answers:
The oncologist will have to be involved in referring you to any clinical trials!. S/he should discuss options with your father as part of the treatment choices!.
However being armed with information is always a good starting point! Don't hesitate to ask for more time or additional appointments if your father is uncertain - we have a clinical nurse specialist as main contact, and she answers many questions!. If she can't answer, she just calls up the consultant and lets us know when to pop in, or (during chemo)he came to see us on the ward!.!.!.yes, this was on NHS!.
You can get information on trials on the Cancer Research site!. http://www!.cancerhelp!.org!.uk/trials/tria!.!.!. They are also a good source of support and information on the phone!. Also, check if your local cancer unit has a support centre (Maggie's centre at some hospitals, Lynda Jackson centre at Mount Vernon etc)!.!.!.!.they will have lots of information and are a great source of answers for "stupid" questions when you can't find your medical support team!.
