Hello again. We were at DF yesterday too. In answer to your earlier question, the dog wormer/Joe Tippen protocol came up in a conversation with a PA before spouse’s infusion last week. (We wouldn’t have wasted the oncologist’s time with it.) DF does not endorse this so called treatment in any way.

Also, consider the local hospital is fine for emergencies that arise from pancreatitis to become stabilized or for transport. They use pain relief and fluids. He has had 4 hospitalizations in addition to Whipple so far. Most of these related to the stent—put in by competent surgeon at Burlington Lahey.

DF plans to arrange a weekly infusion of extra fluids at our local hospital in between DF weekly treatments—per yesterday’s conversation with DF PA.

Also meant to say in last post, he had 4 lymph nodes involved out of 31. Margins clear. But he has a BRAF type replication error—not the more common BRCA.

He still works out, but has lost 30lbs.
