My mother died from pancreatic cancer in 1993, 3 months from her diagnosis. As I approach her age of 78 when she died, I am more and more concerned about the potential of my getting it. I am happy you will be discussing the latest research and developments in the handling of pancreatic cancer.

My partner was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer with metastasis to bile duct at age 51. She was also diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 10 years ago. in one month's time, she seems to have deteriorated quickly. what do you think are the most promising clinical trial currently and the most effective treatments. Do you have any advice on how she can best manage out of control blood sugars that have developed? Any other tips for managing this disease?
