Suggest Remedies To Soothe Itching Caused By Jaundice And Pancreatic Cancer

I have jaundice because I had a bile duct clogged. The doctor put in a stent which has helped my diarrhea but the itching from the jaundice is driving me crazy. It is over my whole body. What can I do to stop the itching. The doctor has also advised me that I have pancreatic cancer in the head at a very early stage.
