My mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with mets to the liver.
She started a clinical trial of chemotherapy last month. It is really hard
on her, I can't begin to imagine what it's like. The prognosis for pancreatic
cancer isn't very good in general, and I would love to hear about any progress at all from anyone on the subject.
