Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

It may be or may not related to pancreatic cancer and you need to visit doctor if you ask me since in his case,a sepsis may occur more easily then in other healthy people It may be any infection in body, from the flu to serious blood poisoning. YOu shoul give him paracetamol and Vitamin C and enough fluids. But it would be good to do at least basic blood tests and hemoculture. This will reveal possible causes of his condition.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
