My mom was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and it's metastatisized to her liver already. I just found out today. She doesn't want treatment. I'm gutted.

I just turned 50 2 weeks ago. I just left the hospital being told I have pancreatic and liver cancer. Not sure what to say but I've always been an over achiever. Runs in my family.

Hopefully I don’t have this. Down 105lbs in the last year. Without dieting.
More and more food is becoming undo able because a bite will make me puke.
So I have the unexplained weight loss, I have the food adversion, I have the hip pain in right hip, and dull pain in upper right abdomen with intermittent sharp pains there.
I had a CT scan that showed lesions on my liver and my right hip. MRI for a closer look at my hip is Tuesday.

Hope they figure this out soon.

I have stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, I’m not giving up, if it gets to a point where I can’t win, I Wii go with assisted dying. I’m not afraid of dying, I just won’t to live a bit longer. I’ve looked after others since I was 9 years old, it’s my time now to look after me. I’m 75.

Yeah what's my prognosis, now that I've spent my entire life savings as well as the future life savings of the next 43 generations in my lineage?...just to pay for the initial 10-minute office chitchat and hospital parking.

From 3 friends, in their 50s and early 60s. You've got 6 to 12 months. It's just awful.

I have low-grade pancreatic cancer because of MEN1, and I now have diabetes after the removal of insulinoma in the tail. My pancreatic tumors were found by accident after several CT scans investigating lung nodules that turned out to be typical carcinoid tumors. The X-rays of my broken ribs from a fall lead to the CT scans that found the pancreatic tumors.

It's a bad cancer. My mother died in two years. When discovered it already spread to her liver. Two years was on the high end of surviving at that stage.

They gave my uncle about a year at diagnosis (stage 4)---3 weeks later he was gone. Took us all by surprise, and just such a shock with how fast it happened.

My brother is in a battle with this cancer. He’s 33 years young and I’m in disbelief. I wish this wasn’t happening 😱

Dont feed cancer what it needs to survive, glucose and L glutamine, all carbs must stop, not sure how to handle the L glutamine tho

My grandfather, mother and brother all had PC. All three had the Whipple. Grandfather and mother no Chemo and lived for 25 more years. Brother has chemo and lasted 3 more years. The chemo killed him. Mayo Clinic requested I do blood study with them to see why we last so long after diagnosis. I gladly volunteered. No feedback yet.

Yea that’s all you can do, oncologist don’t know the first damn thing about cancer or how to treat it or manage it. They don’t understand the biology or nothing and why because they’re not taught how in medical school. The powers over the medical establishment are just out for money that’s why they have only chemo radiation and surgery that don’t work, all their patients keep dying and over 100 years they have made 0 progress and where is all the money going that’s donated to research???? You have thousands of people dying from this every year so they don’t want hear about the science that’s been proven that researcher are doing they won’t change the standard of care.

Drs have always played god thinking they can tell you how long to live. Arrogance. I have met people that had weeks to live according to the Drug sales cartel,then overcome the odds and alive years later. No joke!
