Hi - my Mum was diagnosed with acinar pancreatic cancer at the start of the year and it has spread to her liver as well as her having a mass on her stomach.  Mum is 82, has been unwell for a couple of years now (including having had a heart attack in October 2023) and was told that there is no treatment as chemo would just make her worse.  Her prognosis is that from diagnosis she'd have 6 - 12 months at most and she has to take enzyme pills before eating.  I don't live locally to my Mum, I see her every month and speak with her every day on the phone.  She had already lost loads of weight and over the last month now eats very little (as she can't face it), feels sick and suffers with a bloated abdomen and upset stomachs - in addition she now feels incredibly weak.  Mum tells me that she feels absolutely wretched when I speak with her on the phone and I wanted to ask if these symptoms are normal for the disease and how long they are likely to go on for?  At present she lives in her own flat and friends help her with shopping etc. but I'm expecting that at some point Mum will need much more care as she won't be able to manage alone.  I have no idea where Mum is on this horrible timeline to know what to expect and when.  Are you able to advise at all?  If you could give me any information I'd be most grateful.  Thank you.
