Can I Use Gemzar For Pancreatic Cancer?

My mom was just diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer now receiving Gemzar and also taking a natural herb that was cleared by her physician called black seed oil. This black seed oil is being clinically researched by many cancer research labs. Have you ever heard of this or know any patients who have been cured on Gemzar.
