Hi, hope everyone is doing well.
I got some very bad news about my aunt tonight, she has pancreatic cancer that has spread everywhere. They opened her up and closed again, and she is only 52.
Does anyone know of options for pancreatic cancer, how about Quillians book, anyone heard of this working for this type of cancer?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Cal,
So sorry to hear of your aunt's diagnosis. It must be hard also for you as a survivor to hear that a family member has been diagnosed.
My oncologist is touted by my hospital as a pancreatic cancer specialist. Details about him are :
Vincent J. Picozzi Jr, MD
Virginia Mason Seattle Main Clinic
1100 Ninth Ave.
Seattle, WA 98111
Phone: (206) 223-6193
Here is an article about him and a quote from it :
https://www.virginiamason.org/body.cfm?id=158&action=detail&ref=22
"Picozzi saw a lot of pancreatic cancer patients; he had developed a plan of attack that was giving them twice as much survival time as other methods.
Picozzi would rather not identify the details of that attack. He publishes his work for other oncologists, he said, but wider publicity floods his answering machine and e-mail with urgent requests from Ireland, South America, Tupelo, Miss."
I imagine that a naturopath too could be of help in her fight.
Best wishes...my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family,
