Hi everyone, my Dad has been diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. He was a previously fit & well 81 yr old with a passion for horticulture and sequence dancing with my mum. It has been a terrible shock. My sister & I are trying to support them both while allowing them space to come to terms with what’s happening. We know it has metastasised to his liver & he’s had a biliary stent fitted which is now working, he’s been told it’s inoperable but they won’t discuss treatment options until his jaundice has abated. I’ve also seen the word cholangio mentioned on paperwork which is bile duct cancer and quite rare for western world. Next MDT isn’t until mid week and so we wait. In your experience, is he likely to be offered chemo? Meanwhile the disease continues unabated. Thankyou for any contributions, we are finding lack of communication from those treating him a real problem.
