As someone dealing with chronic pancreatitis, I found this interesting. I inherited the bad pancreas from my mother who died with pancreatitic cancer.

I had a pancreatitis attack a few years ago and someone said Vit D so I tried it and no more pancreatitis

This is wonderful news.

Combined with the advances in early diagnosis, perhaps we will see significant increases in the 5 year survival rate.

Sorry to hear about the chronic pancreewatitus. I had a bout of acute pancreatitis many years ago from obstructive gall stones. So far , no chronic recurrence. I am aware of the risks towards cancer if it is persistent.

Anything would be good. This is such a terrible, terrible cancer, the pancreatic cancer.

Found another working combination using the search terms ‘ivermectin and gemcitabine’, so you may find a cheaper cure than the Big Pharma product.

Researchers stunned again! How do they get through a day? According to the Web half the population sits in a state of stunned silence all day. How does anything get done?

This is the drug that Ben Sasse is taking. So far, he has outlived the original prognosis.

My 70 year-old sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 15 years ago and is still alive. She was lucky because they found it at stage one while looking at something else.

This is terrible news. We should either ban it or make it obscenely expensive a d insurance won’t cover it. Allow it everywhere else but not the US unless you’re somebody.

All study participants had previously received at least one chemotherapy treatment.

This is why many possible treatments fail. Their immune system is already ruined by chemo.

I’ve been looking at this, since I was told about it at Hopkins. (Diagnpsed with PC Stage 4 LAST August).

The FDA expanded the use and access of the drug on May 5th. Problem is the PC type i have grows resistant to the drug over time. This is why it is held back until really needef (growing PC again.)
