| well first things first....perhaps they don't know what to say because they just don't know...i just lost my dad to pancratic cancer....but he had it for years and didn't know...so don't let that scare you...they will have to do more testing...being that cancer is sneaky and moves in minutes...if not seconds...so they don't want to give out false hopes...cancer is cancer it is never good and it is never easy....what you should know is that they can do pancreatic transplants...it is an organ that you do need to survive..but you can survive w/ just a piece of it....lifestyle will have to change....and being that i have had that tube stuck down my throat a time or two...it just makes you sick...and the next step for him will make him sick too...my dad went through the same thing...couldn't eat or go to the bathroom or hold anything down...but his cancer had spread to the liver and he had skin cancer too....here is hoping that they found it in time....and he will live a full productive life...my thoughts are w/ you and your family...all you can do is listen....wait....and pray....  |
