@brookie82, like others here, I support your informed decision. Given that you have other medical issues, it might be hard even for your oncologist to know what symptoms of pancreatic cancer you may get or how the disease might progress for you. But that is where I would ask.

We're all different and your stage 1 progression may differ from someone else.

Have you looked into palliative care? I like to refer to palliative care as comfort care or symptom management. They will help you manage symptoms as they arise and keep you comfortable. Let me know if you would like more information about palliative care and what it is.
