My Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. He has had several scans and although it has spread to his lymph nodes he is able to have surgery. The surgery is booked for 11 days time and he has had the pre op. It seems that in the past week or so his symptoms are much worse, so much pain he has been prescribed morphine, he isn’t able to eat or go to the toilet, sleeps all day but unable to sleep at night. I am so worried that perhaps things have progressed and that the surgery will not take please. Is this rapid decline normal before surgery? He is 66 and before this was fit and healthy.
