Default My step-mother has recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer?

it was found before she had any symptoms during a check on her liver (which is perfectly healthy) and therefore she has not had any symptoms. Does anyone know anything about survival rates etc when the symptoms havent shown yet? I have read a lot on the internet about this type of cancer but it is usually only found because of symptoms and by then it is too late. Am I kidding myself that she may have chance since they found it before symptoms? Waiting for scan results to see if it has spread. any info is much appreciated. xxx

I am sorry. Check out having surgery as an option as I have read lately that there have been good results.

it is my understanding if the cancer is only in the tail of the pancreas,the resection done through surgery, if it has not metastasised to any other part of the body there is some hopeful results

take care of yourself, stay focused, stay positive

All the best
