what would you suggest if the beta glucan is not what I need
Brief Answer:
no beta glucan does not help
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns.
Beta glucan does not work in stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Chemo can still be tried if general health is good.
Otherwise you can try metronomic treatment with Metformin, low dose capecitabine, erlotinib. But I don't think these are available without prescription. You have to discuss with your doctor.
Hope this helps.
