pancreatic cancer


by: rcc on Thu, Nov 29 2007

My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. it has spread to the liver and is inoperable. They are recommending gemzar as Chemo treatment. I have been reading bad things about this type of chemotherapy Currently he is home with a stint installed and on a strict diet of vegetables, fruits, fish, and little chicken. He is walking 30 minutes 2x a day and feels good. He says if the dr didn’t tell him he had cancer he would be back at work. Has anyone had experience with a situation like this?

I am skeptical about the Chemo treatment and looking for a possible alternative treatment. If anyone has a recommendation or experience, please share it with me. I have heard that people have beaten this type of cancer by eating healthy, exercising and believing that they can beat it. I have heard of other hospitals with different approaches. If anyone has and info, please share it with me it will be appreciated.
