In the case of my wife, 3 months after diagnosis. However her's should have been noticed a month or two earlier as there was an incorrect diagnosis of diverticulitis.
Professional medical literature (not available on-line to non-professionals) lists 5.6 months as the current expected survival time after diagnosis of non-operable, non-radiation candidate, metastasized pancreatic cancer when treated with the latest in chemotherapy.
In my wife's case, during 2 three-week chemotherapy sessions the tumor continued to rapidly increase in size. After that he was too weak to continue. (Oct. 2008)
If I may theorize (or give my personal opinion) at this point it time, if a person with the same level of pancreatic cancer as noted above cannot get into a clinical trial, I wouldn't bother with the current chemotherapy. Quality of life is too degraded for the short period left.
I know it would be hard not to grasp at straws, but the doctors are selling hope, at a tremendous expense, in a hopeless cause.
I hope a doctor or two will contradict my opinion with detailed facts.

Absolutely. Anyone can be diagnosed with ADHD at any age. The essential thing, though, is that the symptoms had been there since you were seven years old or younger. Many people live with ADHD for years, even into adulthood, only to figure out on their own that the problems they were experiencing were due to something that was actually treatable.
