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.

There are alternatives. The problems is that in this late stage of cancer, where it has spread, it means that it has probably metastasized. It is not uncommon to find between 40 and 200 biofilms in cancer patients. These are sticky, polysaccharide sacs that form a protective barrier around viruses and bacteria, allowing them to inject their DNA into the substrate they are resting on. Over time as these insidious sacs grow to about 14mm, they form new ones that travel throughout the body looking for a place to reside. Usually in areas of weakened organs, etc.

To fight cancer, one has to muster up all the defenses the body can do. To let medical science go after it, is to try to destroy it, in hopes the body can survive. This is one option. The other option is to make the body healthy so it can fight the disease. Both options at this late stage is not good. To make the body healthy requires, typically, big changes in diet and the highest quality supplements that are just not available in health food stores or pharmacies.

good luck to your grandpa and you.
