Waiting for MRI results for my dad for pancreatic cancer!!

Hey I’m new here and really struggling with waiting for results for my dad. He’s been showing some symptoms over the last few months eg weight loss, loss of appetite, trouble with the Bowels. 
he’s already had bloods and a CT scan but now doctor has asked for MRI which is being done 26th December, everything has moved so fast since I first took him to the doctors (which I’m so grateful for) consultant has spoken to us in regards to pancreatic cancer as his CT showed some concerns. 
he’s 81 and I’m so worried if it is cancer that they won’t be able to treat him, due to his age and other health conditions. 
thanks for reading!!
