My Mom had pancreatic cancer... it took the doctors FOREVER to find it... she was healthy and weighed about 140 by the time they found it she was down to 100 pounds.... She did end up having surgery and they took the pancreas out.... she is diabetic now because of it BUT SHE DID SURVIVE!!!!!!!!!!! her surgery was in Oct of 2006... here it is April of 2008!!!
please don't let the doctors tell you there is nothing they can do... because THEY CAN... my family has been through it!!!
My Mom didn't not have any chemo treatments or anything like that, as they said she was just too weak...
She isn't in the best health yet...but she is alive... and to me that is better then what could've been....
Pancreatic cancer is one that is more likely to come back, and can spread...so if I were you I would tell those doctors to do the surgery and take the pancreas OUT!! you can survive with out it....
