Hi Nicoleta - our daughter drew our attention to your discussion on your father's pancreatic cancer. My husband has been diagnosed with neuroendochrine cancer in the abdominal area including the pancreas which follows a previous bout of neuroendochrine cancer of the lymph nodes under the right arm approximately one year ago. Following surgery, radiation and chemo therapies he was declared in remission in March this year. Unfortunately, in September this year, abdominal pains indicated (and proved to be)the return of neuroendochrine cancer. He commenced a new series of chemotherapy two weeks ago. With regard to the pain that your father is suffering, my husband had a day-surgery procedure called "Celiac-Plexus Nerve Block" which blocked the nerves from which the pain eminated. The procedure was performed in the Wesley Hospital, Brisbane, Australia, and afforded immediate general pain relief. We understand that the procedure is effective for up to three to four months. Some supporting minor pain relief may be required. You may be interested in the following web site: www.vhjoe.com/Volume1Issue3/1-3-184.htm
Hope this helps.
