A friend was just dx with pancreatic cancer...I don't have all the details, just that they removed the gallbladder and said the tumor was inoperable. She is in Stage 1. I had read about Norman Arnold who was dx in 1982 with inoperable pancreatic cancer and was given 6 months to live. He tried chemo even though it wasn't advised by his drs and gave up after 5 sessions because he felt it destroyed his quality of life. He then used imagery and went on a macrobiotic diet. All this is well documented. His tumor disappeared in (I believe) it was 6-8 months and he is alive today from what I understand. He apparently is very important and very wealthy and a big philantropist....so he has made his story well known and I believe there is even a book about his recovery and experiences. When they returned to the doctor who had said that it was inoperable, that he had 6 months max, and there was absolutely nothing to be done, and the doctor saw he was cured, he refused to believe it was from the diet and said it must have been an 'instantaneous remission'. His wife said 'you never told us that that option was available to us, you told us we had NO options'. It is amazing that even when the drs can do nothing for their patients, they don't advise them to seek out alternative methods that have proven to be helpful in many cases. I have informed my friend about this, and also about the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese mix of Dra. Johanna Budwig. I believe there are options available....
