Hello, my beautiful Mum was diagnosed with sagee IV pancreatic cancer which has spread to her liver 4 months ago. Surgery was never an option. She was originally given 3 - 4 months to live. She has been receiving palliative gemcitabine as chemotherapy and tollerating it reasonably well. Her recent scan showe that the tumor on the pancrease has only very minimally grown and the lumps in the liver were not visable. Mum is still not a well person but we are greatful for the extra time the treatment is buying us. Time to plan and prepare and time to do nice things together. Nausea has been a huge problem for her and we have just trialed a new drug which worked amazingly but is extreemly expensive. It will be worth it for the quality of life it is giving her. Hope this helps, everyone's journey is unique and different but I can totally understand that you want to do the best for your Mum. From equally loving daughter.
