My sister was diagnosed Nov 2007 with inoperable pancreatic cancer. has only been able to have 7 chemo sessions so far. Has developed massive ascitis and severe pedal edema in the past 2 weeks. What do these new syptoms mean with regard to the spreading of the cancer and how will it be treated?
I will be going to the md with her this tuesday , but would like to have a heads up on what to expect. what questions should i ask the doctor at this time. Is hospice now a consideration or will these syptoms be treated and be done with ?
