New diagnosis: locally advanced pancreatic cancer

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in March. No surgery option.
The first 6 treatments chemo where horrible. After 6 treatments we had a scan n his tumor in head of pancreas had shrunk. He had metastasized to liver which didn’t show up on first CT but did show up after his 6 treatments. Doc thought dead spots so that was good.
Now we r at every 3 wks. He is tolerating this much better.
He is 63 n just retired. He had no prior health problems. We just have time. I read online 6 months. I believe he will go beyond the 6 month mark next month.
Dr doesn’t say much but to enjoy the time we have.
At first, the first six treatments, he would feel good two days before he to have to go back in. I am his wife it seem like it almost wasn’t worth it.
But when we got the scan and the tumor shrunk and killed some of the cancer cells and now he is tolerating it better I’m glad we did it
I still don’t know what to expect. We don’t get any answers. His lab work is maintaining OK
The only thing I really remember is, if hisWBC starts to go down that’s the only thing they can’t fix.
Good luck it’s a very difficult struggle

I am a bit distressed by your belief, frygirl, that "Everyone ... should do what they feel is right for themselves."

IMO, folks should listen to science, in most cases requiring some form of interpretation - these folks are usually medical doctors. "Everyone" IMO should not do what they think is best, especially given the propensity of some to pick up on magical treatments found on the internet.

Unless you are a qualified medical professional (please let us know), and actually understand the interactions, perhaps you should not malign doctors and the FDA?p and science?

Again, IMO, if your CA 19-9 is declining, it is because of the chemo.

To allow others to judge your statements regarding O3, they should read this link, and the hundreds of others warning of dangerous side effects of ozone treatments.

Believe what you want & I will do the same! I am taking charge of my own health. You cited one article that you found from a hospital. I have read countless books about it and have been getting the treatment for months. I know how great I feel after each treatment.

I don’t rely on doctors only & I never will. I have cured ny ulcerative colitis with a strict herb regimen when no gastroenterologist had anything to help me. I cured my own bone spur with herbs when a podiatrist said the only option was surgery.

Chemo may be working but ozone therapy is also working for me & countless others. Don’t knock it till you try it!

I’m about done with this blog & offering helpful suggestions. Peace out!

frygirl777,

You don't come off as "offering helpful suggestions" (per your words) but more authoritative in your advice.

Do you have a medical/research background and/or can cite articles/books to back up your claims/advice?

Do you & I will do me, as I implied before. Many people are not open to anything other than what their oncologist prescribes & that is totally fine & their decision. I was sharing what is working for me & also someone else who I know with this disease who it is working for. I am no longer going to be posting or sharing suggestions on this forum due to the flack I am getting on this one. I’ll stick to the other ‘supportive’ forums I am part of. I personally understand that you have to research & be your own advocate in this battle as oncologists do not know EVERYTHING therefore I am open to trying additional holistic remedies to beat my cancer!

There are many books written on the benefits of ozone therapy. Whether you choose to buy, read them or believe what the medical doctors who wrote them say is completely up to you.

Here is one of them for your interest:
Principles and Applications of Ozone Therapy, A Practical Guideline For Physicians by Frank Schallenberger, MD, HMD, ABAAM

Best wishes! This is my final reply.,,,

So, Dr Shallenberger appears to have quite a trail ...lots more than these, but apparently he has been repeatedly investigated?

Please folks, investigate - use common sense - ask your doctors.
