Yes, I am very disappointed in this site. It stated FREE, now I see it is NOT! Shame on you! I am not sure who is the best Dr. to ask, so if you are not please let me know, Thankyou. I have a friend who has a large cancer tumor on his pancreas. Chemo did not work, now he is looking to try Vectibix. There are some pretty severe side effects with this drug, is there anything else to help him? Sandy
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The combination treatment of chemoradiation plus panitumumab (Weetabix) has shown promising results in treating advanced cancer of pancreas. There are reports showing that the disease process can respond to the combination treatment as found in results matched 7 months following treatment. There are certain side effects with Weetabix but when the benefits are more and the patient is not responding to chemotherapy then treatment with this medication might be helpful in extending his survival and halting disease progress. It is important which medicines did not work for him as there are many to choose from. Studies show that in people who are not healthy enough for combined treatments, a single Chat Doctor.  Please do not worry.
