    I have gone from stage 4 pancreatic cancer with mets to the liver to no evidence of disease for 16 months and counting. I did it with intratumoral immunotherapy from the Williams Cancer Institute. I know others who have also had success with nanoknife from Robert Donoway of Atlas Oncology. There are ways out there beyond what is in the stand of care playbook and pure luck. Also, look into microbiome health and getting an off label use of Rebyota. Yes, do your research, but these are thing to look at that you may not haveheard about. I am also happy to answer questions.

      I am very sorry to hear that. I thank you so much for responding to me. Fortunately for me, after the Ct-Scan, they realized what I have is a significant inflammation in my right kidney. I'm visiting a urologist and a gastro this coming week. I am grateful to Jesus Christ for protecting me, and may he give strength and faith to those who are struggling with such devastating illness as cancer is. I had never been so afraid. Again, I sincerely thank you 💓🙏🏻

      Maybe try to go to a gastric specialist and a cardiologist. They can rule out if it's heart-related or something serious like pancreatic cancer. The soonest you go see one, the earlier it can be treated.

    I will be going for a CT-Scan day after tomorrow. Im vvery scared. Today i wet for blood work, and i read on my file it said Malignant Neoplasm Pancreas (unspecified) I wish to think all test results will be negative. But I'm saddened, I think of my children, of how they will feel if something happens to me. I was listening to Louis Hayes... one of her meditation says "All the cells of my body are healthy " I've been repeating this many times. My children know nothing about this until I have a final diagnosis. Help me Divine Jesus ✨️ 🙏🏻

      my oncologist told me my pancreatic cancer cannot be fixed. I had chemo 7 treatments not working the cancer marker went high to 2,000. then they referred me to radiology oncology to undergo radiation I did for 5 sessions of higher dose according to them. the only consolation to radiation the cancer marker went down from 2,000 to 369 but still the tumour did not shrink it was even growing and the CT scan showed 2 small spots in my lung another 1 small spot in my liver which were not found before. when I was diagnosed in March 2023 of having a cancer they said it did not spread but cannot be operated the tumour big close to blood vessels and other organ so they said the only solution is to undergo chemo but sad it did not work. I was referred back to the medical oncologist who said my case cannot be fixed. they plan another chemo but I said it did not work the PICC needle worrying because my skin experienced too much itchiness and redness on the surrounding area near the wound where the PICC needle was inserted I had it removed when I underwent radiation therapy I was scared of infection. the oncologist said my last option is to participate in research cancer screening program. my last radiation therapy was 01 Nov 2023 after that until now I had no treatment. while waiting for the blood sample kit to arrive from the cancer screening program I do not know what to do so I started fasting from 7:30pm till 12:00 midday the next day and I did some walking for the first time since I was diagnosed. I am on my 4th day of fasting but I was not able to go walking for 2 days no motivation. I feel alright my food mainly couscous always with green leafy vegetables boiled only either with salmon or shredded chicken from a roasted whole chicken. also oats in packet mixed with rolled oats no sugar added. sometimes I would have cashew and or walnuts. when I feel like something to break the monotony of eating the same kind of food everyday I will always have one apple while watching tv. despite fasting the moment I will eat I always take Creon to help me in my digestion and when pain is too much I have Oxynorm 10mg sometimes Oxycodone 5 mg. I do not want to be dependent on pain killer so as much as I can take the pain I will delay taking it. at the moment I am alright I hope and pray that even if I have cancer that the tumour will at least shrink slowly and most importantly not going to spread.

      Hi Kathy, please have a look at Dr Berg, he has 3 case duties of people who are cancer free. Dr Berg has an eating plan on his website.
      Get off sugar if you haven't by now and any carb foods that turn to sugar. Look at the ketogenic diet of Dr Boz, water fast fast for at least 21 days so that you shrink the tumors and the liver can release excess sugar, get milk thistle for your liver.
      Look up Joe Tippens who cured his stage 4 lung cancer with febendazole.
      Look at Barbarbra o' Neil who says to keep the body alkalinic, do a glass of bicarbonate soda daily,
      Look into ozone therapy, many holistic practitioners offer sessions depending where you stay. Eat the right foods that starve cancer, get electrolytes to maintain your energy. Practice meditation, EFT (emotional freedom technique) to release any stress and anxieties.
      Look at Dr Thomas Seyfried who says cancer is a metabolic disease, Google Dr Ken Berry who has a hodt of information on diet.
      There are SO many, many success stories of people who healed completely with the holistic way.
      There's a book called How to starve cancer. I hope this helps you and so many others. Keep your immune system strong. All the best on this journey ❤
