hi, wanted to indicate that the finding of the metastases on my liver implies that my cancer has advanced to stageIV. The oncology team indicates that all care from this point on are palliative. Understand what the term stands for, but not sure that the is any chance at all of a long survival time. Best regards

Hello @mordka and welcome to the Pancreatic Cancer support group on Mayo Connect. I can understand that you would like to meet others who have had a similar experience. I would like to invite two members of Connect who have had successful treatments for advance pancreatic cancer. They are @stageivsurvivor and @markymarkfl. I think you will find their experiences to be very helpful to you.

In the U.S. palliative care is for people with serious illnesses. Here is a link to some information from Mayo Clinic's website about this type of care,

What are your most difficult symptoms now, @mordka?
