Pancreatic Cancer Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: 18 hours ago | Replies (1417)Comment receiving replies
Hello group. My mom is 91 and was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. Primary tumor is in the tail of the pancreas and she has mets to the right lung, and may have a met to the liver but it is too deep to biopsy. Right now she has energy to go places and do things. I'm here in this group to learn how this progresses and what I should expect. I wish I could know how much time she has left but we are doing as much as we can with her while she is still able. We have palliative care involved but not hospice yet as she does not know her diagnosis yet.

Thank you for sharing your story. My Mom is 95, still doing for herself. It's a blessing to have a parent who lives well into their 90's. My friend, age 90 developed advanced pancreatic cancer. She was living independently, engaged in life. She did not have any treatment other than a stent. She passed away very peacefully 3 months after diagnosis surrounded by her three children. It was good for her that she did not suffer any pain. Treatment can be tough. I think she and her family made a wise choice.
