Treatment options for pancreatic cancer stage 4?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: Apr 4, 2023 | Replies (59)Comment receiving replies
My husband, age 75, has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that has spread to his liver and bones.
He has opted to forego any chemo. We are going to meet with the Oncology Palliative team next week.
His GI doctor is going to do an ERCP next week.
Has anyone experienced ERCP with stent inserted? What about Palliative care?
We are not sure what to expect.
Thank you for any comments.

I had an ERCP to insert a stent prior to other treatment (stage 3, operable). It was done on an outpatient basis - completed under anesthesia but no incisions- made a big difference in my comfort level. All the best to your husband!
