My dad has stage 4 Pancreatic and liver cancer. A family friend told us about a miracle medicine called MMS, which was made in Mexico. His friend told us that his mom started taking MMS and it helped her significantly... her tumors rapidly decreased in size. She took it with her chemo. Has anyone else had any experience with this medicine?

I don't know of this, but I would be very, very suspicious that this is not true. First, when someone is taking a new, unproven medicine along with chemotherapy that is well established as being helpful, I don't understand why it would be presumed that the new, untested drug is the reason the person responded to treatment. An alternative explanation is that the treatment that is established as a cancer treatment actually worked, and the other drug taken may have added a lot, a little, or nothing.

As a general rule, there is reason to be quite skeptical of anything referred to as a miracle treatment for cancer, especially if unproven but available by buying it from another country. Why would a drug that is truly miraculous be unknown to the entire medical community? If it were really a remarkably effective cancer treatment, it wouldn't be hard to find people hailing its benefits.

I wish miracle cancer treatments were as easy to find as they are to hear about.
