If the enzyme produced by the pancreas is capable of distroying the pancreas in its active form,

[jhams]

why cant we aspirate it and through an endoscope infiltrate the pancreas with the enzyme thus distroying the pancreas and the tumour within it

Not sure i understand what you are saying here , i have terminal PC and i take enzyme capsules to back up what the pancreas cant do , is there anyone else that can back this up and explain please ......maybe Ali can help with this x x

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis Cathy. My mum was diagnosed 6 weeks ago and is still waiting for an appointment to see an oncologist. while she has been waiting i have been doing some research

Sorry my question was unclear i will try and rephrase it.

The pancreas produces an enzyme that assists with digestion. This enzyme is inactive when it is secreated in the pancreas and doesnt become acive untill it reaches the gut.and combines with other gastric secreations

If it were to be produced in its active form in the pancreas its self it would distroy the pancreas.

So my question is why cant we collect this enzyme after it becomes active and return it to the pancreas as a treatment. because This would then distroy the pancreas and the tumour within it.

I hope this is clearer and i do hope someone can answer

By the way who is Ali xx

Thanks for your reply , yes that is much clearer , there is so much to take on board with PC , not sure if its you or someone from your family i have answered a post too 5 mins ago . Ali Stunt is the person who set up this site , she is a 5 year survivor of PC after having a whipple op , she does so much to bring awareness , she usually reads the posts , i'm sure if she sees this she will be able to answer your questions Cath x x

Hi. I had bowel cancer. Since 2011 I had 3 operations and two chemo sessions. In Dec 2014 somebody mention apricot kernel and after further research I try it. Now CT scan shows no cancer. I'm still recovering after all of this but I'm feeling much better now. Read yourself book 'Cancer Why We're Still Dying To Know The Truth'.
