Is Stage4 Pancreatic Cancer Metastasized If Found Shadows On Liver And Kidney?

I have a friend who was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer 2 years ago. Now the doctors have said they are concerned with shadows on the liver and kidney. Can you tell me if this is just the progression of the cancer spreading and if there is anything that can be done for it?

Stage 4 pancreatic cancer means cancer which has spread to other body parts. Shadows in liver and kidney may indicate progression. Palliative chemotherapy can be a treatment option. Please discuss with the treating oncologist.
