my mother passed away at 47 in 1963. her death cert states CA of head pancreas and generalized metasous ? u told that mom passed from cirrousis of the liver even though she never drank. can you please explain what her death cert actually means?
CA head of pancreas means Cancer of head of pancreas. Pancreas is an abdominal organ associated with gut and is involved in digestion of food. It has three parts: head, body and tail. Metastaseous means that cancer has spread to other parts of body like liver, lungs or brain etc. So your mother died of pancreatic cancer which had spread to other parts of body.
