Hello, Russ, thisis the first time I have used this. I had surgery in May and about 40% of my pancreas (tail) and my spleen were removed. It was a small non aggressive tumor so I decided to try other alternative things before chemo/radiation. My markers are going up and PET scan indicates cncer cells at site of surgery so I am going to start 4 week of 5FU and radiation. I am 56 and in basically good health. You mentioned it was devastating and wonder what you meant by that. Did you take anything to offset side effects? Were you able to eat? I am still in stage I pancreatic cancer and am hoping to beat the odds and have many years of living. I am also doing hypnotherapy, naturopathic care and thinking about accupuncture. So I would like to know if you incorporated anything else into your recovery. Than you very much. Sincerely, Diane
