Pancreatic cancer - Secondary liver cancer

[Wakinguptooearly]

My mum aged 72 was diagnosed just over a year ago with pancreatic cancer. 9 months after a Whipple procedure her scan has shown two tumours on her liver, and the largest being about 4cm.
She has been quite weak since the Whipple op and has stated already she will not go through more chemo.
Has anyone any experience of what we can expect? Currently waiting for a face to face with the oncologist.

Oh I'm so sorry @Wakinguptooearly

No direct access no but has she got adequate pain relief?

Hi OP

Four maybe five years into stage 4 pancreatic cancer with secondaries in her liver and now stomach. My mum had the whipple maybe four years ago and it took ages to get over. She went on to have chemo which didn’t work and massive reduced her quality of life.
We we’re told that she had 18 months left to live at the absolute most, but she started nuclear infusions and she’s still here 4 years on!

No two journey are the same but I’m happy to answer any questions

Thank you both for responding.

@Newjobformoremoney that's amazing! Your mum is certainly beating the odds.
My mum truly regrets the Whipple as she has lost a couple of stone that she cannot afford to lose.
Can you tell me about the nuclear infusion side effects?

@PritiPatelsMaker pain relief DM has morphine and codeine. She avoids both where possible as hates the woozy feeling. She's never enjoyed drinking alcohol for the same reason.

My mum really could afford to loose the weight so it did it a world of good.

she is radioactive for a while after the infusions. Needs to flush the loo twice after she’s wees, can’t be around kids for about 5 days but other than that she’s fine.
But she’s one of the lucky ones. Most people do react to the drugs and are sick while getting the infusion.
Finally the UK is pretty behind in nuclear treatment. My mum isn’t based in the UK and she’s really lucky that the country that she’s in is one of the world leading ones. She still needs to get the isotopes from Australia.
What type of scans is your mum having? Has she had a gallium scan?
