What is the experimental treatment Patrick Swaze has undergone for the pancreatic cancer?

Question

So, I've insitgated a disagreement without anyone knowing what this treatment is?

Answer 1

There isn't much that is effective against pancreatic cancer, but as for chemotherapy "killing" ... rubbish. Very rare that someone dies from chemo. Many people are alive because of chemotherapy.

Answer 2

It's very true that people die from chemo....one of the major "side effects" of long term chemo and radiation is....cancer!!!  I do agree that it has saved lives and unfortunately it's the only thing the medical system has right now.  The bad thing about chemo is that it kills your immune system and you need that immune system to fight cancer...which is why cancer very often comes back (probably was always there) after people are "cured".  We need to shift our focus to working on helping people's immune systems to be able to fight cancer off in the first place.

Answer 3

Do you really think that if he does go with some experimental treatment, that the public would know? Or they are going to tell the people? Maybe if few years we will know.

Answer 4

I don't know.  Hopefully he is staying away from Chemo.  That stuff kills.
