Hello my friend. Sadly, this kind of cancer, especially when it has spread, as this woman's has to the liver, is most often fatal. There are chemotherapy threatments that may prolong life for a while, but again, her pancreatic cancer sounds advanced and is probably level 4, or end-stage.
I will surely pray for her. Do let us know how she does.
God bless you and this lady, too.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji,
So kind of you for your professional knowledge and appraising of hermedical condition. You ar at par with what specilist have attributed here as well. Operation and chemotherapy have been ruled out . She has hb % 8 only. They do not want to touch , else cancer will explode. We have allowed her to take what she feels to take,except rich diet of fried items and less fat. Thanks for praying.It is all due to less water consumption through out her life
Thanks. May God bless You and have great time.

You are doing your best for her, and that is all anyone can do at this point. Most important to keep her as comfortable as possible, and the drs. can help her suffer as little pain as possible. You do well to keep her from fats, as they are apt to irritate her digestive system at this point.

Hello my friend Lakota12 JI,
So nice of you for encouraging and suggesting with your experience. In fact her Hb% is too less to withstand Chemo, I have seen with my another friend. They inject poison only. I will visit that site suggested by you.
May God bless You and have great time.

My mother was diagnosed with liver cancer also and was given three months to live when it was diagnosed in December of 2007. We had chemotherapy, but the mass grew instead of decreasing in size, so my mother refused to take any chemo. She is still alive and well today and a friend suggested that she take in raw carrot juice. I am still giving her raw carrot juice and freshly squeezed orange juice to boost her immune system.
What's also important is how she views life. I always ask my mother to concentrate on all the good memories and be positive in everything. I think her mental attitude is also one reason why she is still alive and well today even without chemo.

The carrot juice is a good idea! The liquids are easier for the liver and pancreas to metabolize. Other things good for the liver: apple juice or cranberry juice diluted with some water, and tea...green or white tea. So good that your mother is defying the odds, Anne!1 person likes this

It was sad that western medicine does not acknowledge the benefits of herbal medicine. Her oncologist was suggesting that we become more aggressive with her chemo, but my mother refused. She was getting weaker with chemo and she does defy the odds. I sometimes joke her that she might have been misdiagnosed because I know of many people with advance stages of cancer not surviving two years. But we know that she wasn't misdiagnosed, we've had three doctors look at her. Its just that chemo is not always the solution, like in my mothers' case.

Hello maygodblessu ji
I do indeed feel very sorry for the state of health of your friend's mother and wish to do my part of help but unfortunately I do not have any medical skills nor I am related to any medical profession but a simple housewife. To my knowledge heere ka bhasm and Sone ka bhasm will cure any type of cancers and it is very much available in Haridwar, Patanjali Yog Peeth, Divya Yog mandir. I think you will be knowing Swami Ramdev who appears in Astha TV every morning between 5 and 7 am. They will advice your friend and do the needful as they did miracles and saved many lives.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU and wish your friend's mother a speedy recovery.
