      She did the high dose clinical trial at Hillman MC in Pittsburgh.  Each week she managed 7-8 doses.

      There are a few options and she is leaning towards ippy with interferon.  there is another option that is a vaccine I will have to look at that again for the name of it. 

       

      I saw my husband through pancreatic cancer 7 years ago and the discussion board I followed was a wealth of information.  I suggested treatment his oncologist didn't know about just from other's experience.   It gave him a few extra months that I will always cherish.
