Concerning your mother. I had a conversation with Dr. Kelly, DDS concerning pancreatic cancer. He had it at age 35 and is now over 90. Looking back on his records, he said he was 18-0, patientwise, against it. For a disease that is 99% fatal if treated by regular medicine, that sounds pretty good. You can find him on the web. He sells what is purported to be a better enzyme, although his treatment involves more than that. The alternative people who know him regard him highly. He wrote a book more than 50 yrs. ago called An Approach to Cancer. He caught a lot of flack over it. Best of wishes. I believe he has a special protocol for pancreatic.
