Has any one had experience with pancreatic cancer BUT the blood sugar levels staying stable? Asking for stage 4 really.
My dad was diagnosed with diabetes after his cancer diagnosis and his sugar levels were rising really high and was put on insulin to control it.
Since his chemo finished his latest CT scan shows his tumour has shrunk and his blood sugar levels are now under control so they've taken him off insulin.
However, he has been getting more pain recently with his painkillers not working and is sleeping more.
His blood sugar levels are staying stable though. So his pancreatic tumour might not have grown? Or does it not matter sometimes? Can it grow and his blood sugar levels stay ok?
Sorry - long post.
