Suggest Treatment For Pancreatic Cancer

Hi, my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago. Went through whipple surgery. Nov he went into remission until just yesterday when we found out that ithas come back and spread to liver, abdomen and nodes. He is now experiencing severe chills and shivers. Is there anything i can do to calm them. Thank you, Jennifer Verges

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He had pancreatic cancer and now he has remission with metastasis to liver, abdomen and node. It becomes stage 4 cancer. Surgery will not help him now. Only treatment of choice is chemotherapy and radiotherapy. but it will not cure the disease. It is just palliative treatment. Despite of treatment prognosis is not good. Life expectancy is not good in this cases.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
