My dad was just diagnosed w/ stage 4 pancreatic cancer this weekend. It has spread already spread to the liver so they cant remove it. He started chemo yesterday and is also taking Tarceva. Have there ever been cases where surgery is still in option during stage 4? What else can we do at this point besides simply chemo?

My mother was diagnosed with Stage III Pancreatic Cancer last Christmas. She has undergone a round of chemo and then radiation coupled with chemo. Just last week she has started her second round of Chemo. At first we were told she was a surgical candidate, but now we are told that it is "Quality over quantity" as they put it. In other words, there is no hope for surgical intervention. All I can say is that maybe the power of prayer and hope could help your father. If you ever need to talk, I am here.
