It has also spread to his liver. My sister looked online and clames that the life expectence from the time of diognisis is 3 to 6 months. I am just hoping that there is someone out there that may know more about it and if it is true that he may only live for only another 3 to 6 months. Ineed to know what I am facing, my mother is not telling me anything because she can’t face it herself and he is in complete dinale about his condition.

Does this mean my dad has a good chance of getting it? http://yourcancerquestions.com/pancreatic-cancer/my-uncle-died-from-pancreatic-cancer-does-this-mean-my-dad-has-a-good-chance-of-getting-it http://yourcancerquestions.com/pancreatic-cancer/my-uncle-died-from-pancreatic-cancer-does-this-mean-my-dad-has-a-good-chance-of-getting-it#comments Sun, 23 May 2010 14:18:14 +0000 The Doc http://yourcancerquestions.com/pancreatic-cancer/my-uncle-died-from-pancreatic-cancer-does-this-mean-my-dad-has-a-good-chance-of-getting-it Recently, I have been doing a fair share of research on cancer. Pancreatic cancer is the scariest of them all, and my uncle died from it, although I had no idea then that it was as serious as it is. I read that people can get familial pancreatic cancer. Does this mean that my dad could get it? He has type 2 diabetes but he goes to his doctor regularly and it seems he has it under control. What are the chances he could get it? What are the chances I could get it? Thanks in advance.
