Might have just as good results with "horse deworming" Ivermectin.

Results from a randomized, phase 2 clinical trial show that adding high-dose, intravenous (IV) vitamin C to chemotherapy doubles the overall survival of patients with late-stage metastatic pancreatic cancer from eight months to 16 months.
"The results were so strong in showing the benefit of this therapy for patient survival that we were able to stop the trial early."
In the study, 34 patients with stage 4 metastatic pancreatic cancer were randomized to receive either standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel), or chemotherapy plus infusions of high-dose vitamin C. The results showed that average overall survival was 16 months for the patients receiving the chemotherapy plus vitamin C, compared to eight months for the patients getting just chemotherapy. In addition, progression free survival was extended from four months to six months.
"Not only does it increase overall survival, but the patients seem to feel better with the treatment," Cullen says. "They have fewer side effects, and appear to be able to tolerate more treatment, and we've seen that in other trials, too."
Earlier this year, the results of another UI phase 2 clinical trial in patients with glioblastoma, a deadly form of brain cancer, were published. That study also showed a significant increase in survival when high-dose, IV vitamin C was added to standard of care chemotherapy and radiation.
A third phase 2 trial in non-small cell lung cancer is still underway, with results expected within the year.
Cullen says. "In one of our phase 1 trials for pancreatic cancer, where we combined high-dose, IV vitamin C with radiation, we still have three long-term survivors. They're out nine years at this point, which is far beyond the typical survival range."

Three pancreatic cancer patients who got this are still alive past nine years.
Might have just as good results with "horse deworming" Ivermectin.
It helps with more things than they mentioned.
Vitamin C seems to be an amazing treatment.
just lost a dear friend to pancreatic cancer. Terrible thing to go through.
That's significant and then some.
I expect that the chemotherapy or radiation are being used because the cancer is metastasizing.
Maybe the results could be even more impressive if used earlier.
When your loved one is diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, you will come to adore Big Pharma.
Yeah..did they find it pretty late?
at stage 4.....made it almost 1 year.
Aren’t we seeing a lot of benefits from high-dose IV vitamin C? Seems many low tech meds are working better than the high prices crap being shoved at patients.
IF they catch cancer before it’s already at stage 4 and the loved one is dead within days.
Yeah, most times they are found late stage3 or stage 4. He outlived the odds for stage 4. Many dont get more than 3-6 months.

excerpts:
” . . .Vitamin C improves the quality of life. In studies conducted in the 70s and 80s by Linus Pauling, Ewan Cameron and his colleagues suggested that large doses of Vitamin C (10 g / day injected intravenously for 10 days followed by at least 10 g / day orally indefinitely increased the well-being of patients, hence improving quality of life, energy levels, appetite and resilience to the adverse effect of other treatments. [3]
Vitamin C kills cancer cells. Cancer cells are no match for high doses of IV Vitamin C. The peak mMol concentration of Vitamin C reached by IV infusion, is selectively cytotoxic on cancerous cells, but does not cause any adverse effect on healthy cells, which also benefit from it. In recent studies, one by Bonuccelli, Lisanti et.al, and another by Lewis Cantley and collaborators at the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, published in Science magazine in December 2015, has clearly shown that the contribution of increased levels of vitamin C in its oxidized form, dehydroascorbate, destroys human cancer cells . . .” . . .
Yep
They went after him after all this.
My wife died from breast cancer four years ago. Her last year I wanted to do high dose IV-C but it was too expensive, about $300 at a clinic, and I wanted her to have it once a day for at least six weeks.
I tried to get one of the PA’s at the cancer center to teach me had to do an IV. There was a vid on youtube showing the formula for the solution, I think it used ascorbic acid plus sterile water.
Sterile water in IV bags for humans was about $100, vs $11 for horses, so I was going to try to get that, but I ran out of time.
I discovered Vitamin C over 50 years ago (current age 86), when it turned out to help my multiple respiratory allergies (house dust, cool weather mold, cigarette smoke, ragweed). Dr. Robert Cathcart (Google this) says all healthy people should take 4 grams of C a day spaced out about 6 hours apart. Blood levels of a 1 gm tablet peaks out at about 3 hours and then declines again. Cathcart recommends giving a dose of C to “bowel tolerance” for illness treatment. Excess C causes acid farts or diarrhea. If one has these symptoms reduce the dose slightly so these symptoms stop.
I was once a MASH tent volunteer at a major forest campout. I arrived for my shift and found people trying to help a bee allergic woman who had been stung in the neck by 3 yellow jackets. Her body was swollen all over, her eyes swollen shut, and she was choking. A flower remedy applied was NOT helping. I found a bottle of 1 gm C tablets, crushed 10, mixed with a large glass of water, and asked her to drink. She could still swallow, drank the whole 10 gms, and in 20 minutes her eyes and throat were open, and the body swelling diminished. I spent the next 8 hours giving her 5 gms C per hour, she never had bowel symptoms. Finally she urged me to go get some sleep, and leave her with enough C to self medicate. She hiked 3 miles out the next day.
This happened 40 years ago, and I based this treatment on work by a Dr. Klenner (sp?) from the Carolinas who had discovered this high C treatment for rattlesnake, copperhead, and black widow spider bites. His work was at least 70 or more years ago, well before Cathcart. If you find Cathcart’s article on his Treatment with Vitamin C to Bowel Tolerance, you will see he has treated some 10,000 people with high C, some very severe and often fatal illnesses, using as much as 100 to 200 grams of C IV per day. I tried to find the LD50 for Vitamin C (LD50 is the amount of a substance that kills half the creatures taking it). I could only find the LD50 for rats and C. I calculate that based on the rat fatal dose, people would have to consume more than a pound of Vitamin C to kill half. I found NO cases of people dying from C.
Personally, I have taken around 6 or 7 gm per day for 50 years. Two gms morning and bedtime, and 1 gm doses during the day when my nose gets stuffy. I usually take 1 or 2 gms before doing dusty house cleaning. Two years ago I attended a New Years dinner party where we passed around Chinese dishes to share. Everyone swore they had no illness or had been vaccinated for Covid, and we all used hand sanitizer before starting to pass dishes. Ten tays later my nose began to gush fluid (cells in the nose are the first defense against Covid), something I had never experienced. I began taking 1 or 2 gms of C every 2 hours, for 24 hours, including during the night. I awoke the next day completely healthy and no nose gushing. I think I may have stopped a Covid infection, and one other member of our dinner party had the same symptom of watery nasal fluid.
In fall 2022, 3 of my loved ones were dealing with cancer. One had already received successful treatment and was on the mend. For the other two I began research and made recommendations on things I had already learned regarding Covid treatment. I already knew from Dr. Zelenko’s 3 drug Covid protocol that ZINC was a virus killer, and an IONOPHORE like HCQ or Quercetin helped more Zinc get into virus infected cells. I then found a recent study of several major cancers, including the prostate and liver cancers suffered by my people. The scientists had discovered none of these cancer tissues had any zinc in them even when the surrounding normal tissues were adequately or even well supplied with zinc. The doctors were wildly enthusiastic about this finding, and one even suggested using zinc and an ionophores as a treatment. This was late spring in 2020, but by fall, they were considerably less enthusiastic, in a way that suggested to me that pressure had been applied (Fauci and Big Pharma?). At any rate I added Zinc and Quercetin to the supplements they were already taking. Then I discovered something new about Astaxantine, a supplement I was taking successfully with others for my cataracts. Apparently it lengthened the life of normal cells while shortening the life of cancer cells, a process called apoptosis (normal cell death). I added this to the anticancer regimines. THe person with prostate cancer also had 6 weeks of radiation and anti-testosterone for 2 years, and now has a PSA of 0.01. The person with metastatic liver cancer from colon cancer (surgically removed), was also doing well with a regular chemo and the supplements. Doctors were even suggesting going in and removing some of the cancer tissues. I phoned two weeks later, right after I read an article about the Class Switch of IgG immune cells caused by multiple Covid shots. My brother was happy and proudly announced he had just had his 4th Covid Vax. My heart sank, but I did not share what I considered BAD news. Two weeks later when I phoned he was much worse, on a severe “hail Mary” type of chemo, and a glide path to death.
I was aware of the possible use of high dose Vitamin C for cancer, but it was also said that it had to be used carefully by people with experience in this use. The danger was that massive dosing of a large amount of cancer tissues could cause too much toxic waste to be produced all at once time. In a person already weakened by cancer, and possibly other comorbidities, this could be fatal.
I deeply believe in the life saving and money saving potential of Vitamin C, Zinc, and other supplements in promoting immunity and healing many illnesses. I believe the pressure suffered by the Linus Pauling Foundation deserves investigation as does a lot of other anti-competetive behavior of Big Pharma or what I call the Medical Industrial Complex.
I am so sensitive to vitamin C that I have a hard time getting enough. I have always reacted to high Vitamin C foods and almost all the supplements except very small amounts of buffered C.
Well, I still do react to that but not as bad. I can get enough in me to avoid major deficiencies.
As a supplement, have you tried forms other than ascorbic acid like calcium ascorbate or magnesium ascorbate? I know there is usually someone who is bothered by what most people can tolerate, and that is very unfortunate.
