My mother is 72 years old.She had obstructive jaundice.She underwent a byepass surgery to remove block in gall bladder.Now , she has cancer in pancreas.Is it advisable to give cancer injection or let her to live as long as she lives.If given injection,what would be the outcomes?Whether she can withstand it?

I think it would really depend on how your mother feels about things and about life in general. Some people want to fight and others just don't have the energy for it. I would first find out what stage of cancer she is in, there are different levels of severity.

Do you mean chemotherapy when you say cancer injection? Your best bet would really be to talk to the physician treating her. Based upon her history and current status, plus her own wishes, he can recommend what might be best. Chemo is tough on everybody and it batters the immune system which will leave her open to infection. Only the doctor can really advise whether she is strong enough to survive it.
