5 months agoMy husband (48)was diagnosed on July 3rd with Stage 4 with Mets on liver. We had no idea until I took him to ER with severe abdominal pain. As of this moment he is having a gastro bypass for a bowel obstruction. Not sure if the tumor is pinching or if it has spread to the intestines causing the block. I guess they will tell us after surgery. He was supposed to start chemo today but this is going to push it back at least 3-4 weeks. It seems to be moving fast. This has been a whirlwind. I don’t want to sit around for 4 weeks waiting for cancer to take him. Looking into iver and fenben but not even sure where to start. Any help, leads, suggestions, ANYTHING would be appreciated!!

5 months agoHi Kasey. Thank you for your message. We understand that your husband's pancreatic cancer treatment can feel incredibly difficult and overwhelming, and your wanting to explore every possible option shows how much you care. While early research on ivermectin and fenbendazole as potential anticancer agents is interesting, it's crucial to remember that they are not proven cancer treatment for humans. More extensive research, including well-designed clinical trials, are needed to evaluate their efficacy, safety, and appropriate dosage before they can be considered for use in cancer therapy. It's essential to consult with qualified medical professionals for any cancer treatment decisions and to avoid self-medicating with unapproved substances like ivermectin and fenbendazole. Please know that you don't have to navigate this alone - we are here to connect you with resources and others who understand what you're going through during this challenging time.
