I am a little confused by the word "therapy". I have never heard that word used when someone has pancreatic cancer.

Perhaps AT is referring to the totality of treatment he is receiving, i.e. chemotherapy and/or radiation, diet/nutrition advice, exercise regimen, pain relief, counseling to help him and his family deal with the pancreatic cancer.
