My mom was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer on 2/11/08. We have seen 2 oncologists for consult. We have been referred to U of C. Right now she can't get an appointment for a month. That would be about a month and a half from diagnosis before starting treatment. Any thoughts on this? The last oncologist said we had time to explore treatment and should start treatment within a month from now. Besides being agonizing, is this a safe idea? My mom is well right now. Also, anyone seeing an oncologist for pancreatic cancer at U of Chicago?
