Hi Toby,

I'm so sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. I found out recently that this is the cancer my mother was diagnosed with. She was 41 at the time of her diagnosis and she decided against any treatment as she was already in the late stages of her diagnosis. I wish you and your family all the best.

Hi Jacqueline,

Thank you so much for responding. Only if its appropriate would you mind sharing your mother's experience after she'd decided against any treatments? 

Thank you

Hi Toby,

Unfortunately for my mum she only lived about 7 weeks after her diagnosis. She was diagnosed at stage 5 and it had already spread to her pancreas and her liver. Her main cause of death wasn't the cancer though, she has an infection that went to her bloodstream and died of sepsis. This was in 2003 and I'm sure there have been many advancements since then. She was given a life expectancy of 6 months with no treatment and 1-2 years with treatment. It just happened so fast but we left the decision on what treatment she wanted to her. 

Sorry meant stage 4.
