@needhelp123 Of course you and your sister are very frightened. Your mother in the hospital is reason enough to be scared let alone the unknown of whether or not she has cancer.

Is another family member available for you for support? @beachdog is correct that many tests are involved before a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can be made. Is your mother under the care of a cancer team with expertise in digestive diseases (like the pancreas, liver, etc)? If there is even a hint that this is cancer then I also think your family should seek out another opinion at a National Cancer Center. Many academic medical centers have specialized centers.

Please tell yourself that there is always hope. That's the key word in cancer. There is so much research going on and while some cancers cannot be cured the cancer can be managed with medication and other treatments.

Please let me know if there is another way I can help, will you?
