I was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumors on my pancreas in 2005.
ii dont know..sorry
While pancreatic cancer is very difficult to treat, every patient is different and no one knows when anyone will die.
Nausea, Lack of appetite, many abdomen-related symptoms, It can also include yellow skin and eyes, Dark urine, Light stools, Blood clots. So these are just signs that it MAY be pancreatic cancer, but it may be something else.

well wouldn't you like to know.
If someone you know has cancer, you need to treat them with respect.

If pancreatic cancer is in an early stage, that is, confined to the pancreas and not spread to local lymph nodes or the liver, there is a chance that surgery will remove all the cancer. Unfortunately most pancreatic cancers are not detected at an early enough stage for surgery to be effective. In that case radiation or chemotherapy might be used, but generally these are not as effective and don't institute a cure.

Some issues are very serious, but not many people know about it (they aren't aware) so there are campaigns that raise awareness of such issues. For example, everyone knows cancer is very serious, and of that, breast cancer may be the one that gets most publicity and effort. However, pancreatic cancer is even more serious, and has a very low survival rate but not many people know about it, so not as much effort is geared towards it. Therefore there are some awareness campaigns that tell people more about pancreatic cancer, how serious it is and the symptoms.
Pancreatic CancerMost pancreatic tumors originate in the duct cells or in the cells that produce digestive enzymes (acinar cells). These tumors account for nearly 95 percent of pancreatic cancers. When these cells are healthy, they grow and divide in an orderly way. When DNA is damaged in these cells by certain things, cells may begin to grow out of control and eventually form a tumor. What damages DNA in the majority of cases of pancreatic cancer is unknown, but a small percentage of people develop the disease as a result of a genetic predisposition. These people who have a close relative, such as a parent or sibling, with pancreatic cancer have a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer themselves. Development of other genetic diseases have been associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer, including familial adenomatous polyposis, nonpolyposis colon cancer, familial breast cancer associated with the BRCA2 gene, and hereditary pancreatitis. Only about 10 percent of pancreatic cancers result from an inherited tendency. A greater number are caused by environmental or lifestyle factors, such as smoking, diet and chemical exposure. Smokers are two to three times more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than nonsmokers are. This is probably the greatest known risk factor for pancreatic cancer, with smoking associated with almost one in three cases of pancreatic cancer. A diet high in animal fat and low in fruits and vegetables may increase your risk of pancreatic cancer as well.People who work with petroleum compounds, including gasoline and other chemicals, have a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer than people not exposed to these chemicals on a regular basis. Resent research has also shown that chronic, advanced gum disease seem to be associated with development of pancreatic cancer, but by some unknown mechanism.
i dont know ask someone with cancer
