My father-in-law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. How long does that usually give someone to live? |
My father-in-law is 54. Relatively healthy aside from the cancer. They did a CT scan today and said that it is cancer and the mass is 5cm. It has attached itself to a blood vessel so they can't operate. At this point they are usure if it's spread. How long does someone live with pancreativ cancer? I am so sorry to hear about your father-in-law. Pancreatic cancer is almost always fatal within 3-6 months. Some people have a longer survival time depending on treatment, etc. But if they can't operate, the prognosis is usually not as good. I am sorry to say but the prognosis for pancreatic cancer is not that good. There are usually no symptoms and by the time it is found it is usually too late. I guess the survival rate would depend on the treatment, whether or not he does chemo. I am sorry for your family as this a horrible cancer. That is a hard question to answer. Give him an alternative, tell him he can take emu oil gel caps. Emu oil kills cancer cells and is safe to take. I would suggest 3 tabs a day. One should always consult their doctor before trying anything new. Do not focus on how long he has, instead concentrate on the quality of life. No one knows how long someone has to live and there is always hope. |
