    There is no " best " treatment option.The 5-year net survival for pancreatic cancer is 10%.

    My mum was told not to do biopsy and need to do surgery asap.
    We asked can mum has the chemo first and surgery later and Doctor said no.

    My friend's mom (aged 57) is SERIOUSLY ILL, but the doctors are NOT telling us WTF it is, cuz they don't have enough 'conclusive evidence' to diagnose/prognose her. Basically just telling LIES, and NOT being honest about her illness. Well, she is put on MORPHINE now and I seriously doubt that could be a sign of anything good. She feels INTENSE PAIN in her spine, that spreads all the way to her hands/feet. When she sits down to eat, she has NO appetite and also feels pain in her throat and stomach. Her skin is all blackened from the side-effects of Morphine (multiple doses per day), and she needs help moving around cuz her legs are WEAK. It's been like 90+ degrees lately, and she is all bundled/covered up in heavy winter clothes and CAN'T leave the house. At this rate, I don't think she's gonna last very long. I've asked various people (pharmacists and herbalists), and most of them told me it could be some form of TERMINAL CANCER.
    What do YOU think it might be? 🤔

      She’s not going to the right doctors then. Take her to a MAYO clinic.

      CA19-9 is a cancer marker bloodtest. It will tell the oncologist about a protein found in the blood, to help diagnose and monitor pancreatic cancer and other conditions. There are very limited options for surgery. Talk to an oncologist and start chemotherapy.

    I heard you should never put a needle into a tumor/mass

    • @robertbaterman4519
      @robertbaterman4519 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That is how you do a biopsy to determine if the mass is cancerous

      There’s no other way to biopsy it.

    A CT or MRI won't detect it until it's huge or has already metastasized. The Pancreas is almost hidden.

      Not even Contrast CT?
      Or Endoscopic Ultrasound?
      Along with some blood works,say CA 19.9

    • @robertbaterman4519
      @robertbaterman4519 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not true. The CT or MRI will locate the mass. There are a number of diagnostic tools that can be used. Once you identify the mass, a biopsy should be done. There are also blood tests (CA19-9) that can identify a protein found in the blood, to help diagnose and monitor pancreatic cancer.

      ⁠@@onelivingsoul2962my mum had CT scan with contras and they can see 17 mm size of tümör on the head of pancreas.
      CA 19 was 79 in Feb then in Aug Ca19 jump to 1000

    Diagnosed early if the doctors do a CA19-9 cancer blood marker test then if needed a CT scan.
    they don't do these.

      You will also need chemotherapy to control the tumor
