Because pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed when it has spread and become advanced, it can be difficult to treat. Even with treatment, some people feel tired or weak, lose weight, or have continued pain. They might not be able to eat as much as they used to, or their food might not taste the same.
Doctors and nurses can help ease these symptoms with medicines or special care. This kind of care is called palliative care — it helps people feel more comfortable.
Some people continue their treatments, like chemotherapy or radiation, to try to slow down the disease. Others may choose to stop treatment and focus on spending time with their friends and family instead.
Living with pancreatic cancer is different for each person. Some people live for many months or even years after their diagnosis, while others may get sick faster.
Support from loved ones and a team of doctors can make a big difference, helping people feel cared for, supported, and less worried during their battle with cancer.
