Survival Pancreatic cancer?


My mom is in the ICU, she has pancreatic cancer.She has been living with it for almost 2 years.2 weeks ago she had to go In because she had a infection on her arm and they found a cyst on her liver.I thought that was not harmful and the doc said she would be fine.In less than a week she is in the ICU spitting up blood.I want to prepare myself because the doc seems not to give me a answer.What do you think her chances are she will pull trough this.Honest answers please.Thank you.

I'm so sorry sweetie. My youngest brother passed away last June from pancreatic cancer. He had just turned forty. It's all about stages. Your mother is lucky to have lived so long. Remain positive but prepare to say goodbye.

If your Mom has had pancreatic cancer for 2 years she is almost a medical miracle as the 1 year survival rate for this cancer is <5%. Seriously, it is my opinion (and I could be and indeed hope that I am wrong) that your Mom is nearing the end of her illness, so take each day as a gift from this point. Good Luck and God Bless....I'll say a prayer for you both

First, I am so sorry that your mom has had to battle pancreatic cancer. It is such a scary thing. My ex mother-in-law has also been fighting pancreatic cancer. . .for over a year now. She still has good and bad days and spends so much time at the doctors now.

I can't tell you what your mother's chances are. . .her doctor should. I would stay on the doctor until he/she explains fully the situation to you. She is your mother and you have the right and the need to understand what is going on and what they expect from here. I will send up a prayer for you and your mom right now. BTW, my mom is a breast cancer survivor so I feel your pain, hon. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

It is sad .Pancreas being ductless glands,the cancer of endocrinne may not be curable in alopathy.still I would sujjest u to be positive.ask her also to be positive.Keep her in fresh air.Ask her to do light excercises after she returns home.Death has to come one day to every one.Life is uncertain.Death is certain.So try to keep her happy as long as she is with u.Do not loose hope.Miracles happen. So all the best.
