Donna, there's no cure at that stage. Only (sometimes) if caught very early
and Whipple surgery.
We've heard of many who, out of desperation, have wasted time, hope and
money searching out every claimed "cure" in the world for naught.
Ironically, while I was doing support here, my best (email) friend's
brother got dx'd with pancreatic cancer.
He was told by his doctor 3 months to a year.
I sent her info which she forwarded to him. He totally ignored her and
dragged himself and his young family around the US, seeking every possible
surgery, chemo, "altie" treatment. They lived in motel after motel, while
he was in various "treatments"
It was for naught. He bankrupted his family, mortgaged the house to pay for
such in desperation and left them homeless and on welfare. He died within
the year. He left them sad that they'd lost their father on diagnosis. In
other words, he paid little attention to them; they were just passengers on
his trip of desperation...

Tell him there is no cure; if there was, every doctor in the world would be
using same herb for their patients and themselves too. (Doctors and their
loved ones get cancer too).
Don't believe in tooth fairies...and pie in the sky promises.. If he starts
that, he'll end up dying, poorer for it and bitter..

Tell him to start doing what he's always wanted to do, go see/visit like
friends, exschoolmates/workmates he hasn't seen in years, while he's well
enough. It's all about getting his affairs in order, making plans for
hospice, then quality of life (symptom relief with his doctor and/or
hospice) and spending time with those he cares for and about now.

Sorry to hear that...

Uh-oh...

"__!!?__"

Honestly?  There may well be a cure (I'm no expert and have no
idea what can be cured and what can't), but *herbs*??

It would worry me as well.  Quite apart from anything else,
moving costs serious amounts of money, which I assume your
cousin hasn't got if he's paying for medical treatment as
well.

No, I think you're being realistic and sensible.  

Ask yourself this:  if the cure is so brilliant how come
there's only one person who seems to know about it?

Ask yourself how likely this is to be true...................?
It's sheer, unadulterated, cruel, avaricious nonsense

By the way,let me know who the doctor in BC is. I might have to have a word
with the College.
