Please Help my father

My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in Nov 06 and at the time he was given 3-6 months to live. In Dec 06 he began chemo once a week until March 07. Around this time he had lost a great deal of weight and his appetite and was rushed to the hospital due to severe stomach and back pain as well as, his stomach is swollen with fluid. On April 12 at an office visit my was told that the cancer had spread to his organs and the chemo was stopped. My dad was told it could be weeks or a couple of months before he loses his battle. I am pleading with anyone that may have information to maybe buy my father just a little more time to please respond.

I wish I had some words of wisdom for you and the care of your father.. Your plea has really touched me.  I can certainly sympathize with how you feel right now.  My mom was admitted in the hospital and diagnosed a week before thanksgiving 2006 with klatskins tumour and passed away a month later.  At that moment in time I wish I could have gotten a grasp on the situation and had enough focus to do research, I was so in shock I didn't know what to do. I believe that there wasn't much I could have done since she declined so rapidly.

 Looking back at what I went thru and what you are going thru right now- I would say take the advise of the survivors on this site.... starting with simple vitamins and minerals- make numbers of calls to as many specialists and alternative dr's as you can.  I have heard many good things about alternative medicine and that was a route that I wanted to take my mom, but never got the chance. 

Don't give up!

My prayers are with you

 My father was diagnosed in Feb. 06 and given 3-6 months. He made it until Feb. 07! The last couple of months of his life, though, he was in a lot of pain and was on morphine in tablet form along with many other pain meds.  He was put on a new regimine of a once-every-3-weeks combo of chemo drugs, but he only made it through one of those rounds.
My best advice is that he should stay mobile as long as possible and try to eat healthy foods that are easily digestible. Have hope, but also savor your time together and live in the present as MUCH as possible.
Best wishes & much love.

DCA couldnt hurt. kills inside of the tumor. combine with clinoril for cell-suicide effect. Paw-Paw form a reputable herblist is good.

 

If all else fails oral copper chelation will stop the tumor from growing but must be done carefully (this is not some far-out thing it was done on humans at Michigan medical school.)

 

Act Quickly!

Sorry to hear about your father's suffering.  My grandmother has been newly diagnosed with PC.  Her mass is in the head and of the pancreas and is 3.5 X 5 cm.  They didn't stage her yet, appt w/oncologist on Thurs.  ANyway, we took her to a naturopath b/c she refuses chemo and she's on a bunch of different supplements  such as Hoxey and Essiac and immune boosters that are all natural.  She has been on it for 12 days and I really notice a change in her ---she has more energy and she says she feels a lot better than she did a couple of weeks ago.  Anyway, my heart goes out to you and I don't think it would hurt to try the natural route.

also, get Ukrain if you still can. That stuff triples survival time with no side effects.

I am posting a website which may be helpful if you are open to trying alternative therapies and also I will re post a message regarding a good friend of mine who is surviving his terminal cancer through alternative treatments as well. I personally am a survivor, diagnosed in May 2004 who has had no traditional treatments at all and continue to be strong and healthy. If you would like any further information as to my protocol, diet, supplements etc. please send me a private message. Here is the website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&d AND here once again is the message regarding my good friends success. "I am posting this story because it truly appears to be a miraculous result of a few weeks of non traditional treatments for terminal prostate cancer, a shift in intention and/or perhaps even Divine Intervention. A friend of mine was told in early December 2006 by oncologists that he would not survive to see Christmas. His wife who is a nurse, saw all of his scans and tests and understood she could soon be arranging for palliative care and making funeral arrangements. His cancer had spread throughout his body into most organs and bones and his lungs were so full he could hardly draw a breath. He was given steroids for pain control. After a few days of despair he decided to go ice fishing which is one of his great passions and something happened to change his mind set and he decided to fight. He made arrangements to take natural treatments at a complementary medical clinic nearby. He had about 12 weeks of weekly Intravenous Vitamin C/ Lipoic Acid infusions along with a 21 day course of daily injections of 714X. He did take one injection of Lupron at the beginning of these treatments. Today he has no symptoms of dis ease. He feels strong and healthy, takes no pain meds, has resumed all daily activities and his scans reflect this amazing change in his health. The oncologists who did his scans for him told him he should just keep up what he is doing. My understanding is that there are no side effects to these treatments other than a possible one to the high dose Vit.C if one has had a previous problem with kidney stones. I hope this message is helpful and hopeful to others and if anyone would like more information please feel free to contact me." Blessings Shemay

One of the very best websites I have seen for alternative cancer therapies is CANCERTUTOR.COM. There you will find information about several of the most effective alternative therapies in existence, their relative success rate, and a detailed explanation of WHY they work. I have personal experience with the high ph cesium therapy (mineral therapy), described on this site. Good luck to you.

ALso, I forgot to mention that the naturopath put my grandmother on an organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.  Only 2 oz of meat every other day, but 3/4 lb of fish is ok daily.  He says that cancer feeds on protein.  He has also eliminated dairy and wheat.  Only brown rice, sweet potatoes, taro, and long rice noodles are acceptable.  Best wishes!
