Jenni I am so sorry to hear this news about Mick’s latest diagnosis, I am afraid it’s one I know very little about, but I do hope some treatments are available.

Dear Jenni, since my earlier response to your post I must apologise for my clumsy and insensitive reference to my father.

I just want to say that my father’s issues were 26 years ago and I do believe that medical science and treatment for this awful disease would have improved greatly.

Please stay strong and I again apologise for any undue distress I may have caused you.

You and Mick will be in my thoughts.

I have known several people with pancreatic cancer; modern treatment is definitely better than it used to be. And it is more gentle than some of the previous treatments. I wish you both well. Liz P

It is very scary, I wish you strength and courage and may you both find joy where you can. One thing is, green tea is good for CLL and it turns out also to be good for pancreatic cancer. I'm sure this is not a cure, but what the heck, if you are coffee drinkers you might try switching to japanese sencha green tea in the morning. I hope things go well for you both. It is surely a trying time. Sending love. Maria

I am not familiar with your husband's history other than after your post I wanted to learn a bit more about him and I saw a post you made a few years back where a CT scan showed suspicious areas on the liver. I am just wondering if what they suspect to be liver involvement could be something that was there all along and just a part of the CLL. When you posted quite a few people also had abnormal areas on their liver, so I hope they find out that this has not actually spread. I hope you get answers soon. I know how a cancer diagnosis can throw you for a loop as I had my own bout with it last year while my husband is the one with CLL, but he is currently in remission a little over 2 years now. I hope you get more promising news in the coming days. My heart goes out to both of you.

So sorry to read your post and your husbands situation.

I know you live in UK but here in US I just read a headline article 2 days ago in the Detroit Free Press about an amazing groundbreaking new treatment for pancreatic/liver cancer, n it is FDA approved!

First place to offer this new electromagnetic cancer treatment (TheraBionics) is Detroit's Karmanos Cancer Institute. The treatment uses a spoon (temporarily placed in patients mouth) and specific radio frequencies applied. Painless treatment n they say few or no side affects. It doesn’t cure tumor cancers but has shown to shrink them n may expand ones life expectancy/improve quality of life.

The article noted…

TheraBionics is the only FDA-approved for treatment of liver cancer right now, trials are about to get underway testing it in patients who have pancreatic cancer.

I can’t post the article here because it is for subscribers of Detroit Free Press newspaper only. Likely, you could Google this exciting novel treatment to read about it.

Again, knowing you are in UK it might be a super longshot for Mick to get in on this trial treatment. Logistics, cost etc. n IDK if one has to be a US citizen to get in on this trial in Detroit, Michigan.

But… just wanted to let you know their is exciting new treatment using this technology that is out there. How one can get in on the trial is a big question. N where else (besides Detroit, Michigan) may it be available soon?

More good news is this new treatment maybe useful for other difficult to treat other tumor cancers including certain versions of hard treat breast cancers. That last note has raised personal hopes as my wife battles very late stage breast cancer and is now on treatment trial #8. It is getting very concerning that her docs cancer beating treatment bullet belt is starting to get low on bullets!

I can relate to your being sad and scared about your spouse. Cancer sucks.

Hoping this new radio frequency cancer treatment becomes available to all across the world (eg UK) and …. Real soooooon!

Wishing your husband the best in his cancer battle.
