yes , just found out today my uncle has just weeks to live , he has pancreatic cancer and blood clot . how long can he actually live , he can not eat has not eaten in 10 days. he had bile duct cancer 23 months ago and has really never gotten better from the whipple operation
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Pancreatic cancer is very aggressive in nature and notorious to produce blood clots. These clots can travel in blood and reach to lungs and brain and cause symptoms. So presence of blood clots made your uncle stage 4 pancreatic cancer patient. Only palliative treatment is required. Usual life expectancy is less than 6 months. But since your uncle has stopped eating, I think in his case life expectancy would be less than 2 months.
