How do others cope with stage 4 pancreatic cancer treatment?

I hope you are doing well. I'm stage 2B. We've just taken a chemo break as I'm worn out. My husband and I are also moving out of the house we've lived in for 30 years in a month. I need a chemo break to move. Best to you.

Hope you can beat this. My best to you and your husband.

Have faith in yr doctors and follow their recommendations to the letter. Don't exclude the importance of yr nutrition.

Hi Setafina, You’ve got it! The treatments are amazing these days. It would be great if you could include the following in your diet. Or at least a few of them every day. Papaya Purple potatoes Blueberries Broccoli Green tea or Macha tea

I found out my biology cannot tolerate chemo after 6 sessions of a strong formula, a break from chemo and then 1 session of a more mild cocktail. I had to go into the hospital after each session. The chemo wasn't the answer for me, but everyone is different. It works for a lot of people. I wish all of you the best.

You can heal yourself with food

Hi Nadia! I completely agree that food matters. Eating well can help reduce cancer risk, support your body during treatment, and improve overall health. But once someone has an established cancer, there simply isn't good scientific evidence that diet alone can make it disappear. The strongest evidence we have is that good nutrition is an important partner to effective cancer treatment, not a substitute for it.
