My father was diagnosed with Pan. can with mets to the lungs. It then travelled to the liver. By the time it reached his liver - he had 1 week left. It was VERY fast. My father was diagnosed in December and died in Jan. I am in shock. The signs which told me things did not look good is swelling in legs and stomach. He became dead weight. The jaunice happened 2 days before he passed away and mostly on hands and legs. I know how you feel. I am very sad since losing my father Jan. 20th. It feels like a bad dream and I truly hate this stupid disease. Please feel to private message me anytime. Hang in there.
