  • Hi we went last week to hospital and no there is no treatment available to here because of her age .She was very jaundiced so they put a stent in to help her be more comfortable as she is feeling bloated and sick all the time her caner has not spread to another organs its 4cm by 4cm and they give her 3 to 6 months to live .

    My Mum just got a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

    She's 87 and they told her that she will never feel pain from this and could go on to live a perfectly normal lifespan.

    Because she has Savannah ability problems they won't treat with chemo or surgery.

    I hope they'll write that she will go on to live a perfectly normal rest of her life without the Cancer being a problem.

    Staggered her family politics and who does what, and who shouldn't, and does blah blah blah can be as painful as the diagnosis!
