I am so sorry about your dad. Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst there is. You need to spend as much time as possible with him now, and chemotherapy may slow down its progression. The rest will be treating his symptoms to try to keep him as comfortable as possible.
What this means is that the cancer originated in the pancreas and migrated to his liver and lungs, probably before he even knew he had a problem.
I know you dont want to hear it, but he probably doesnt have a whole lot of time. You want to do what you need to do to be there for him and with him. Let him know how you feel about him, and enjoy the last times you have together. I have no idea how long he actually has, its different for each person. I took care of one who lived 4 months, another who is still going after 12 years. 12 years is very unusual.
Best of luck to you, I am praying for your family.
