Hi
My mum has advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer (also in liver)
Her chemo had been put on hold after 4 session as she was loosing weight and suffering a lot of fatigue. She had a CT, blood tests etc. Seeing the Dr Friday she said unfortunately the chemo has not worked and also unfortunately had mum mum feel awful for the last 8 weeks. Given every day is valuable this is a real shame. We also found out that it has spread to her bones. Its a real kick but on the upside with no more chemo we can have some nice days and a little trip while she is well enough.
The one question we didn't ask and the Dr didn't raise is prognosis. She originally said with the chemo its likely approx 1 year. Given the chemo didn't work and the tumour in the pancreas has grown and spread further to bones now as well as liver its not clear how much time we have. Or even how much time we have before she is unable to be active(ish).
We are rallying round, have a close family and I live just down the road.
Cancer sucks.
