Pancreatic cancer

My mother has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and the NHS has declined to offer any treatment stating it has spread. If any one can tell me a private but reasonably priced chemotherapy centre or private doctor it will help. The oncologist recommended chemotherapy but would not offer any treatment.  please let me know. Any information on this cancer will be helpful.

    Hi there, 

    I would waste no time and get a second opinion from a reputable oncologist outside the NHS, as well as one from a different NHS oncologist. My wife was diagnosed in April and has unfortunately relied heavily on our public health system here in BC, Canada, and has not progressed at all.
