tkret,
As I looked back at what I just wrote, I think I see the steam is still coming out of my ears because that oncologist did not try these things right away because "they do not always work." And, of course, it is not a cure. It sure did improve things though. It's a prescription for enzymes for goodness sakes, not some experimental drug. We asked the same question week after week. I did not realize that I was still so mad. It happened a while ago.
And I did not tell in that post what I did after that.
What I did after that was that I told that oncologist almost every time I saw him what a great idea he had to give that prescription for Creon. I wanted him to try that stuff right away next time someone showed that rapid weight loss after radiation to the pancreas. This case was one where that try was sure worth it. And you know what. His own stats were improved by trying something so simple, even if it did not always work. I just wanted to keep it on his mind. So I told him what a great idea it was. Every single time I saw him. I do not think he ever tired of hearing it.
And Dave, I really think Mayo will be much better. But I wanted you to have this information, just in case it might help.
