What can I expect? - diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and been given 2 - 4 months to live

Hi I am female aged 72 and on 1 April was told I have pancreatic cancer and also cancerous nodule on my liver and as a guestimate was given 2-4 months left to live, was such a shock.  Apart from mobility issues I dont feel anything unusual, what can I expect to happen in the future, is anyone else in this situation.
