What are the survival chances of advanced Pancreatic cancer?

Hi I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice or help, words of support....anything at all! My mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which has spread to the liver. They have said they cannot operate but will be offered chemo once they have done the biopsies etc. 

I have tried to research survival chances, etc but all the websites say different things. I'm assuming if it's already spread to the liver then it's classed as stage 4? 

I don't really know what I'm asking here or wanting to know but I am an actual mess right now and I don't know what to do
