Dad's home now and cantankerous as ever. Can't say I blame him. I know he is depressed about the whole situation - staring his own mortality in the face. It's gonna' be a rough ride for all of us. I just hope he doesn't waste away like so many with pancreatic cancer.
I'm trying to keep calm and help both my folks as much as possible.
Apparently there are several new targeted therapies/immunotherapies which supposedly are not as invasive as standard chemo, but he will need gene testing to determine which might work in his case.
I will update as soon as we get the pathology results and the oncologist develops a course of action that will extend his life without totally ruining his quality of life.
Pancreatic cancer seems to only have an 11% chance of survival/cure, based upon my preliminary research. Not good.
Thank you all for all your thoughts and prayers.
