Pancreatic Cancer and Tarceva? |
My Grampa has Advanced Pancreatic ( I think stage 4) cancer. They just did surgery but said it had spread. They are going to be talking about treatment options and I was wondering if anyone has any personal knowlage with Tarceva? How long do you have to wait after having surgery ( he's 81 years old) to start chemo? Cancer is caused by infections. It spreads basically due to "biofilm" production. Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst ones because we need our pancreas desperately. Chemo will basically destroy his pancreas. The only tools that the medical profession has against cancer is drugs and surgery. |
