I'm a data science person and because very interested in my diagnosis and any kind of treatment, usual and customary or anything else. Everyone I researched over 5 years that went through chemotherapy died in 90 days or most times much less. A very few, one percent or so survived but their quality of life was a terrible burden. To sit up or eat a few spoonfuls of food that they could not taste, take a shower or watch a movie was an agonizing experience. Statistically, it's not effective but remains the treatment of choice in most hospitals. The survival rate for Pancreatic cancer has gone down over the last 100 years. Chemotherapy is the last gasp for those that are going to do nothing else. The doctors claim no real benefit to a good, strict nutrition program. The survival rate for those that did nothing and did not live a healthy lifestyle with good strict nutrition had a better longer-term survival rate but did not usually survive past 3 years. Of that group, the few that I met were the extremely healthy, active people before getting sick, not your average person.
Sorry, I don't mean to run on but I've been kind of involved in this and some things that I see with healthcare really bother me.
