Whats The Chance Of Survival In Patients With Pancreatic Cancer?
My 81 yr old father was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer in Feb. He is not doing that well now, on pain meds and hospice has said his caregivers can stop blood pressure meds, etc. How long do you think my father has left to live? He is frail, still awake sometimes, vitals good at this point, he is in pain.
