Hi guys.my father has stage 4 bile duct cancer he has been given only months to live 
I haven't really seen too much on this forum about bile duct cancer but I was wondering has anyone had any success with any herbal things or. Natural products.
I've read a little bit bout the healing properties of wheat grass and even breast milk....has anyone else heard anything bout these two ..I know this probably just sounds like desperation but I would be willing to try anything to prolong his life and I am pretty sure he would too..
Xx
Hi dodies,
I am so sorry to learn of your dear dad’s diagnosis of bile cancer and that he has only a few months to live. I can understand you reaching out hoping for something to prolong his life. It is important to discuss any healing properties with your dad’s consultant as they may interfere with any medications he may be taking. The policy of this message board is not to promote any unproven cancer therapies over conventional treatments.
The Irish Cancer Society has a booklet on “Diet and Cancer”. It gives menu suggestions and how to make nutritious snacks and tips and hints for those patients with advanced cancer who may find it difficult to eat. I have also included our “Complimentary Therapies” booklet which you may find interesting.
Here are the links to download these as PDF documents:

You may wish to speak to a specialist cancer nurse in confidence Mon- Thur 9am -7pm and Friday from 9am-5pm.
With kind regards,
Cancer Information Service Nurse
