What is Pancreatic Cancer?

The pancreas is an upper abdomen organ located behind the stomach. The location of pancreas is close to various vital inner body parts such as the small intestine, blood vessels and nerves. Pancreatic cancer arises when pancreatic cells begin to multiply out of control and form a mass. These cancerous cells have the ability to invade/spread to other parts of the body.

The pancreas is responsible for 2 key functions: an endocrine function (produces insulin to regulate the level of blood sugar) and exocrine function (produces digestive enzymes to break down foods). In pancreatic cancers, both cells with endocrine or exocrine functions can develop into abnormal cancerous cells. The most common type of pancreatic cancer is pancreatic adenocarcinoma, which accounts for 90% of cases. These adenocarcinomas start within the part of pancreas that makes digestive enzymes.

In Singapore, pancreatic cancer is the 10th most common cancer in male population. This type of cancer is very aggressive and ranks as the 4th most lethal cause of cancer related death both in male and female population. About 1-2% of pancreatic cancer cases are neuroendocrine tumors, which comes from the pancreatic cells that produce hormones. These tumors are less aggressive than the pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Signs & Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer

Usually, there is a mild or no symptom of pancreatic cancer in the early stage. The most common signs and symptoms include:

  • Fatigue & Weakness
  • Yellow Skin (Jaundice)
  • Loss of appetite
  • Abdominal or back pain
  • Nausea or vomiting

These symptoms usually appear when the disease has reached an advanced stage. There are several methods to decrease the risk of pancreatic cancer:

  1. Avoid smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke
  2. Limit alcohol consumption
  3. Reduce fat intake

This cancer usually occurs in patients with age over 40 years old, and the majority of pancreatic adenocarcinoma occurs in patients over 70 years old. Risk factors include smoking tobacco, obesity and diabetes.

Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer

The diagnosis process usually combines medical imaging techniques such as ultrasound or computed tomography, blood tests and biopsy or examination of tissue samples. The disease is divided from the early stage I to advanced stage IV. The risk of pancreatic cancer is higher amongst men, especially with higher intake of red meat.

Globally, pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal form of cancer, with one of the lowest survival rate. In 2015, pancreatic cancer of all types resulted in 411,600 deaths globally. In United Kingdom, this type of cancer is the 5th most common cancer related cause of death while in United States, it’s the third most-common cause of death.

Maribel LimMaribel Lim, Manilla, Phillipines

Living with a serious disease can be difficult and challenging. I know first hand what it was like when I became seriously ill eight years ago.

In July 2001, an MRI result revealed that I had pancreatic cancer. My husband Victor and I went from one doctor to another to find the best treatment for my cancer. Three, four, five, seven — I can no longer remember how many oncologists we’ve been to, all specialists in pancreatic cancer, the kind of cancer in which the patient has little chance of getting cured. This is the most aggressive form of cancer.

When I had the courage to ask my doctor how long I would live if I refused surgery, his response stunned me — 6 months, one year at the most.

When I heard the prognosis, my world stood still. I felt like a prisoner who was just handed a death sentence. I went numb. Tears ran down my cheeks.

Our only recourse at the time was surgery. I braced myself for a 12- to 24-hour operation. My gallbladder would be removed; part of my liver, stomach and duodenum would be taken away aswell. But if they discover that the 2-inch tumor was too close to the pancreas, they will not remove it. But then, the other parts of my body would have already been destroyed.

I consented to surgery as the only option. Then the issue of blood came up.

I am a Jehovah’s Witnesses and we adhere strictly to [our interpretation of] a Bible-based standard to abstain from blood, including getting a blood transfusion. My doctors became indignant each time I refused the idea of a blood transfusion. They resorted to threats, pressures, intimidation, just so I would agree to a surgery that included blood transfusions.

The impasse made me depressed. … My husband and I started researching other options. We read numerous books … until we discovered alternative treatments. We tried this approach. We learned that to treat a disease, the whole body has to be involved. This is holistic treatment. In my case, it was not enough to focus on my diseased pancreas but to include my whole body as well.

Each night we read a different book. We stayed late just to learn more about alternative treatments. Each research confirmed our conviction that surgery was not the only solution. In fact, it was not even required. We only have to change our lifestyle, what we have been used to. Alternative treatments are not easy — one has to be patient, and self-discipline is important. You just have to believe in what you are doing.

In my case, we started from nothing, zero knowledge with respect to alternative treatments. Added to this was the fact that we were running against time, which was very short — just six months. Each moment must not be wasted … every move must be precise, each decision was crucial. Each wrong move meant one big step backward, only to start all over again.

One very difficult aspect of having cancer is that well-meaning people around you just want to be sympathetic and offer help or their best suggestion. Each one of them has an opinion to give, a little pressure here and there for you to try this or that or just plain counsel on what to do given my situation. … But I have learned not to be carried away by pressure. The most important thing to consider, the moment you know that you have cancer, is to stay focused and not be swayed by others.

While we were doing our research, finally acting on what we read was difficult especially since we were not sure if we were doing the right thing. We put our hope on what we learned from our reading. We were not sure if things would be easy for us, nor were we convinced that it was the right track towards recovery.

I must admit that many times, I began to doubt what my husband and I were doing.

I took so many food supplements … whatever was recommended from what I read, I would buy … and whoever would give [them some to] me, I would accept. But I realized that it was not enough. One evening, I felt a severe pain. I woke my husband up and told him that perhaps this was the end. I was hoping that we could find treatment for me, hopefully using natural medicine (herbal). We prayed fervently to Jehovah God to help us find the right medicine for me.

The following day, a Chinese sister in faith visited me and made an appointment with a cancer researcher who introduced me to the medicine Tian Xian, commonly called China No. 1 in Asia.

When we arrived at the offices of Green & Gold International Exports in Manila, we were welcomed by a kind and very knowledgeable specialist in alternative treatment, Mr. Manuel Kiok. He showed us the Tian Xian packet and explained to us its effect to the body of a cancer patient like me.

For the first time since being diagnosed with cancer, my heart overflowed with joy. Now, I have hope. Through Mr. Kiok and his Tian Xian medicine, my life could be extended longer than the six months to one year I was given if I did not undergo surgery.

During the first few weeks of taking Tian Xian Liquid, combined with Tian Xian Capsule number 6, I remember eliminating black waste from my body. At first, it seemed like the disease was counteracting the medicine. There was some kind of wrestling going on inside my body every time I took Tian Xian. I knew then that the medicine was proving to be effective. So I continued the medicine hoping that one day I would be fully cured.

Six months has passed, and I am still alive. Still weak, still uncertain … and the only test I was doing to measure the degree of malignancy of my cancer is through HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. The test is based on a theory proposed by Dr. Howard Beard and other researchers who contend that cancer is related to a misplaced trophoblast cell that become malignant in a manner similar to pregnancy in that they both secrete HCG. As a consequence, a measure of the amount of HCG found in the urine is also a measure of the degree of malignancy. The higher the number, the greater the severity of the cancer.

Above 50 units is positive of cancer, 49 and below is negative. My first reading? 80 very high! I was overwhelmed and scared of that count. But within a few months, we tried to lower my HCG count. From 80, it went down to 73, then 64. I continued taking Tian Xian, at the same time observing my food intake. I refrained from eating food with sugar, salt, fat, oil, white flour. I only ate organic food. Each time I had an attack, Tian Xian helped relieve the pain. I really felt its effect.

When I felt I was cured, I tried to stop taking Tian Xian. I stopped for two weeks, dependent only on food supplements. After that, I measured mu HCG, thinking that the result would not be affected by stopping Tian Xian. From a reading of 56, which was very close to being cancer-free, my HCG went up to as high as 64.5.

I resumed taking Tian Xian again and my HCG went down. I tried for the second time to stop taking this medicine, thinking that it was just coincidental. The same thing happened, my HCG went up again. What does this show? That Tian Xian greatly helped in lessening the severity of my cancer. After two years, my HCG count fell from 80 to 51.

All this happened eight years ago, and I’m still here. I never thought I would still be alive. It is hard to believe that I am here standing before you, alive and well.

I talked to a doctor and he was astounded to learn that I have pancreatic cancer — and I was healthy despite not undergoing surgery. He could not believe that I am a cancer patient. Each time I talk to doctors who refuse to believe that I have pancreatic cancer, I would explain to them that I am taking natural medicine particularly Tian Xian. Invariably, a shake of the head would be the response I get.

It was many years ago that my doctors tried to convince me to get surgery. Today, they are shocked to see me alive. So they concluded that I must not have been sick of cancer. They said that in their experience, a pancreatic cancer patient had no chance of surviving months after being diagnosed despite taking natural medicines.

I could not believe what I was hearing. When I was very weak and thin, they insisted that I get surgery, scaring me with impending death. Now, that they see I am healthy, strong and very much alive, they claim that maybe I didn’t have cancer in the first place? That’s after several oncologists confirmed that I had cancer … after going through laboratory tests such as CT-SCAN, MRCP and scheduling me for surgery — how could they say that perhaps it was not cancer?

… Were they are reluctant to admit that the alternative treatment I used was effective? That because of my diet … and Tian Xian, with the help of Jehovah God, I survived their terminal prognosis. Of course, they cannot accept that these factors contributed to my recovery. After looking at their reaction, I thankful that I did not commit myself to them.

Because of this, let me take this opportunity to thank Mr. & Mrs. Manuel Kiok for introducing Tian Xian to us, which is the reason I am enjoying good health. But of course, all credit must first go to our God Almighty Jehovah, who, if not for Him, if not for His law of abstaining from blood which I firmly obeyed, I would not have looked for alternatives. I am convinced that He guided us in finding the best and appropriate treatment for me. And one of these is Tian Xian. I may not be fully cured, but my standing before you after eight years is already a big factor … a great miracle for a pancreatic cancer patient like me.

Again, my fervent thanks to Jehovah God and to His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ … to my beloved husband, Victor, who painstakingly and patiently supported me in my search for alternative treatment that cured me, to my parents, brothers in faith who continuously pray to Jehovah God on my behalf … to the kindness of Mrs. Priscilla & Mr. Manuel Kiok, who helped me through Tian Xian, the one who sponsored my Tian Xian products, Mr. Sidney Lu, and I also wish to extend my thanks to the one who discovered Tian Xian — Prof. Wang Zhen Guo.

In the more than eight years of my struggle with cancer, recovery poses a serious challenge. As one feels one’s health improving, one tends to become relaxed — going back to what one used to do [bad habits] like eating mouth-watering foods and other vices that have [brought] the cancer. But I have not done this. …

After changing my diet to organic foods, I have remained consistent. I keep taking food supplements, drinking fresh vegetable juices, and taking good care of my body. I do all this for a good reason.

First, what I went through, the physical, emotional and mental strain were unimaginable. Second, I do not want to waste the second chance given to me to have a healthy … and beautiful body. Third, I love my family. … And fourth, I want to use my life serving my God Jehovah.

For these reasons, I am inspired and motivated not to go back to my old lifestyle and diet, which had robbed me of my good health. I want to emphasize the same message to all cancer patients present in this hall: Let go of your old lifestyle and diet which [brought] you … cancer. As you sense your health improving, keep on taking the supplements and medications that helped you progress. Never go back to old vices and to appetizing but unhealthy foods restricted for a cancer patient. Keep a good lifestyle and diet.

Effective medication is not good enough to [offset the consumption of unhealthy but] inorganic foods … and … taking in organic foods is not good enough without proper and effective medication like Tian Xian.

Lastly, to all cancer patients here tonight, I know you too, can beat cancer … we can reverse cancer! Aside from taking Tian Xian, feed your body good nutrients through diet and supplements, thus providing your body the raw materials that it needs to rebuild itself. Then feed your heart with the good feelings of love, forgiveness, confidence in your abilities, a sense of purpose in your life, and a trusting relationship with your Creator. With this in mind, I firmly believe we can recover from cancer … we can defeat cancer!

Thank you everyone!

My Sincere Suggestions

The picture shown on the left is only for illustration purpose.

My mother passed away eight months after an operation. Nevertheless, I still want to write down my feelings to provide some reference for those hopeless patients.

When my mother was diagnosed as having stomach cancer, it had already metastasized to the large intestine and her pancreas. The operation removed the whole stomach and a large part of the pancreas and the large intestine. In other words, all the parts afflicted with tumors had to be taken out.

After the operation, Mother began to drink Tian Xian liquid through my aunt’s instigation. One month later, the nurse who took care of my mother asked curiously whether she was taking any medicine that could provide her body nutrition. It was obvious that Mother’s recovery was quickly being attained and she was released from the hospital. We all thought that it could be attributed to Tian Xian liquid, so Mother continued to drink this at home. As as result, the side effects of the anti-cancer drug were not apparent.

Her physical examination on the third month after leaving the hospital, however, showed that the cancer indicator shot through the chart. The doctor suggested taking concentrated anti-cancer drugs, which was a last recourse. Although, the violent side effects manifested in majority of the patients, the success rate of this kind of treatment is over 60%. Should we accept this solution or not? All the family member were troubled by having to make this decision but we all opted for this last chance for our mother. About one month later, Mother began to vomit terribly and suffered serious stomatitis such that she was unable to drink the Tian Xian liquid anymore.

Why did we not let her take the Tian Xian liquid non-stop? We regret this so much now! Although Mother began to drink the Tian Xian liquid upon leaving the hospital, it was then too late. She again had to go to the hospital as the side effects were still manifesting. This time, she was unable to come back home. Later, we found out that whenever Tian Xian liquid cannot be taken orally, it can be replaced by the Tian Xian suppository. Although we could not confirm the anti-cancer property of Tian Xian liquid in Mother’s case, it was an undeniable fact that she recovered her strength every time she would take Tian Xian liquid. Mother’s situation clearly showed that Tian Xian liquid mitigated the side effects of the anti-cancer drug of low density. However, when Mother started to received concentrated high density anti-cancer drug, side effects were no longer avoidable nor controllable. The shelves in the bookstores are line with information on experiences of miracles in defeating cancer, which mention such treatments as shark cartilage, water soluble KITOSAN, vitamin supplements, AGALIKS young pilose antler, loquant leaf, warm pressure treatment, etc. We had probably tried all the available medication but it was Tian Xian liquid that proved to be most effective among the traditional Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, a miracle was not meant for my mother. But, I still believe Tian Xian liquid is the only medicine that could have created that miracle.

How Could I Have Cancer If I Feel So Healthy

Chin Kooi Choo. Female / 74 years old / Pancreatic Cancer (2007) / Kedah, Malaysia

Pancreatic Cancer Survivor - Chin Kooi Choo from MalaysiaTime sure flies. I am now an old lady. I have learned to go with the flow after going through so much in life. Life is easier this way. Maybe it was this attitude and healthy eating that I am usually seldom sick. I wonder why youngsters today always seem so sickly. I had never had to worry about my health, though in these past 3 years, I had been talking to my friends and relatives a lot about cancer, the most abominable disease ever. Little did I know I would be struck by it in November 2007. C’est la vie.

I live in Kulim, Kedah. I started working at the age of 17. I was a wonder woman in local business when I was young, having worked hard to open my own hardware business, which I ran for a few decades. Now my hardware shop has expanded to cover 3 adjoining store lots. After work, I would go home and rest, watch TV, read newspapers, listen to music or take a nap. It was my routine. I would go for annual medical check-ups regularly as I got older, and the reports always came back clean. I paid close attention to my physical condition, but I did not find anything unusual before the cancer struck.

I went for a check-up in March 2007 because I was a bit puzzled by my brownish urine. The doctor did the check-up but did not say anything. I was puzzled but not suspicious of anything.

Later my niece took me for another check-up in Lam Wah Ee Hospital, Penang. The doctor did not tell me the bad news but broke it to my niece instead. I had a 6cm tumor in my pancreas. My family members hid the truth from me lest I would freak out. The doctor just told me that I needed an abdominal operation but declined to tell me any details. Thinking it was only a minor surgery, I woke up after the operation only to find a 19cm long wound across my tummy. It was definitely major surgery.

The Unbearable Side Effects of Chemotherapy

Only when my condition had stabilized did the doctor and my family members tell me the truth. They said I would have to undergo chemotherapy after the operation because cancer of the pancreas is very difficult to cure. The chemotherapy weakened my body. I lost my appetite completely. I would vomit until bile appeared even If I just took some liquid food. That was when I learned of the appalling side effects of chemotherapy.

Then I read about a book entitled “Thank God I Had Cancer” in a newspaper advertisement. I asked my niece to get me a copy. I learned a lot about cancer from the book and understood the harmful effects of chemotherapy to the body. At the same time, I became aware of an herbal medicine called Tian Xian Liquid that could control cancer effectively and mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy, ameliorating the suffering of a cancer patient.

Stopping Chemotherapy and Taking Tian Xian Instead

Pancreatic Cancer Survivor - FamilyThus I decided to quit the chemotherapy and try Tian Xian Liquid. I can still remember I became more energetic and rosy after taking it for a few days, so much so that I developed an urge to check up on my shop. This experience boosted my confidence in the product. After taking it for 2 weeks, my appetite improved tremendously and I could eat more. I became stronger day by day. I went back to the hardware shop very soon, looking through the accounts. When I scrutinized my treatment cost, excluding surgery and other medical bills, I found that the chemotherapy alone had cost me more than RM180,000.

I was glad that I discovered Tian Xian Liquid in time to help me gain strength and lift my spirits. I was also glad of quitting the chemotherapy early. When asked about the actual number of chemotherapy sessions, the doctor could not give me a definite answer. He even called me a year later to go back for chemotherapy. A year later, when I went back for a check-up, he gave me a clean bill of health.

Enjoying Healthy Living

Three years have gone by and I am still taking Tian Xian Liquid because I believe it can prevent a relapse. The first 5 years after a cancer treatment is the most critical, so I have to be very careful in everything I do in order to prevent a relapse. I consider Tian Xian Liquid as a health food supplement. After all I am not young anymore. I must keep up with proper health maintenance so that I can lead a healthy life in my senior years. I recommended Tian Xian Liquid to all my friends and relatives who have cancer, hoping that it would be a great help to them.

I still enjoy going to work at my shop until today. To me, walking around the three shop lots is a good form of exercise. I used to drink three cups of coffee everyday, and the habit stuck with me for almost 20 years. But now I have stopped drinking coffee because my niece told me that excessive coffee could be carcinogenic too. I kicked the habit cold turkey for the sake of my own health. I am very careful with my diet and lifestyle these days. I want to live longer and spend more quality time with my family.
