Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I too have Pancreatic Cancer which the surgeons and hospitals tell me they can do nothing else for me other than more of the same ~ Chemo (Weekly Gemcytabine infusion and Daily Tarceva tablets at great expense and inconvenience not to mention the discomfort). I would be very interested to know what supplements you 80 year old Dad has been taking and how he is managing the pain without Dologesics and Morphine. I have had a shortcut made from my stomach to my duodenum in case the outlet from the stomach gets blocked ~ so food processing has been shot to pieces and I am just skin and bone and have found no way yet to put weight and muscle back on. I had a pain block done on the nerve endings near the spine which knocked me for six and did not really work ~ that is why I am taking dologesics and morphine every three or four hours so I can try and ignore the constant backache and pain in the gut. I am well past my sell by date which was 8 months in about mid 2008 when I stopped Chemo as my white cell count was too low and all the Surgeon could recommend was to try Radiation ~ which he had originally told us was of no help for Pancreatic Cancer.I am trying Daily to take 6 capsules of Oleander/Sutherladia each day (3 mornings & 3 evenings), 1000mg Vit C, 3 capsules cod liver oil, 1 tab garlic, 1 tab turmeric, 1 capsule Royal Jelly, ! capsule bee pollen, 1 cap Vit D, plus 1 sip Colloidal Silver and 1 sip Iron supplement in liquid form with fruit essences. I don't always manage to take it all ~ but the pills & caps I put in small plastic zip loc bags, so I know what I have missed.I must order more Oleander this week from Mark in South Africa because I am running short. The Quark & Flaxseed oil is from the Budwig diet and that too is supposed to be good for Pancreatic cancer. I am getting hot feelings in my ears when I stand up recently which is a new thing, but may just be related to balance and blood flow sensitivity.I'm also getting swollen ankles and don't know why ~ an ultra-scan yesterday revealed no sign of DVT in either leg so that is a blessing.I am as active as my low energy level allows ~ I live in a Chinese Temple Garden on a remote hillside in Hong Kong looking into mainland China. We keep goats, a Calf and two loving dogs. I used to walk in the hills with the dogs almost every day, but that is beyond my energy level nowadays. I tried sticking to an Ayurvedic vegan diet for a while, but had to revert to fish and meat to try and regain weight and energy.There are so few people out there in my condition to talk to that it is very difficult to share experiences with diets and supplements. I have yet to meet a doctor who believes in alternative treatments. Thanks to all on this site who give so willingly of their experience and knowledge. Every little helps when one is fishing in the dark !Ron in Hong Kong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Ron in Hong Kong you should try raw goat milk to help put on weight. My mother did the budwig cottage cheese and flax to put on weight. I feel for you Ron. I will pray for you. Sent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
