Pancreas cancer, she doesn’t have years.

Steve Jobs had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that allowed him to live for many years after diagnosis.

Common pancreatic cancer averages 9 months of life after diagnosis.

The median is more like three months.

5%/Five years.

It is usually not detected until its too late. If they found it through blood tests, they have been looking. Its not a common blood test.’

Normal treatment is radiation/chemo then surgery. She will go home and probably get chemo there. If she does not get chemo, the tumor hasn’t responded and she is done.

She probably cannot tolerate chemo at her age and health state. She will not last long.

Its not a good way to go.

Steve Jobs had a very normal, treatable cancer that just happened to be in his pancreas. The fool rejected the treatment that would have him still be alive to this day.
