Hi, dear she may have some liver disease or gall stone or something else. Chances of pancreatic cancer is very low. She should go for ultrasound abdomen or ct scan abdomen. It will give you exact diagnosis whether dhe has pancreatic cancer pr other pathology. Then she should take treatment accordingly. In early stage treatment is surgery. In later stage chemotherapy like gemcitabin should be given. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
