I recently had Whipple surgery to remove a Pancreatic cancer tumor, with a
successful resection and no observed spread. Now the doctors are recommending
radiation and chemotherapy to kill any remaining hidden tumor cells. I am very
concerned about the long term effects of radiation, and possibly chemotherapy.
I would like to explore alternative choices: chemodrug combinations,
biotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. I am being urged to start therapy immediately;
but I am not yet comfortable doing this.
I would appreciate responses which help me to understand the pros/cons of
various therapy choices.
thanks for your contribution to my long term health,
Brian
