Dear Dan ,
My Dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer stage III, 8 months ago .He has not yet tried any alternative treatment such those you mentioned. If you proceed with those , please share your experience.
Yes I think you should Find an oncologist that you trust and like and who is more familiar with pancreatic cancer. Also check radiotherapy. Stereotactic options might be helpful! I heard some very good results in some cases for stereotactic options. Regards Anastasia

My husband was initially borderline resectable one year ago. Over the next 9 months, he did chemo and radiation. The final determination in December is he is not a candidate for surgery. The tumor is too close to a blood vessel. A 2nd opinion at Mayo confirmed that and also found small tumors on his lungs. So he is on chemo for life (and there's more to that story) but we also added a Naturopathic MD to his medical team. He has been taking Low Dose Naltroxene (LDN) and adding supplements to his conventional regimen (chemo). His blood work numbers are the best they've ever been. So conventional and alternative are definitely important in my experience.
