Here are the stages of pancreatic cancer development from onset to death:
Once pancreatic cancer has spread to other organs, it is usually not curable. However, there are treatments available that can help to control the cancer and prolong life.
The time from onset to death for pancreatic cancer varies depending on the stage of the cancer at diagnosis. For example, the median survival time for stage I pancreatic cancer is 18 to 24 months, while the median survival time for stage IV pancreatic cancer is 6 to 12 months.
It is important to note that these are just averages, and the actual time from onset to death can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the patient’s age, overall health, and the aggressiveness of the cancer.
If you have any concerns about pancreatic cancer, please talk to your doctor. Early detection and treatment can make a big difference in the outcome of this disease.

The medical terms for the stages of pancreatic cancer are as follows:
The TNM staging system is used to describe the extent of cancer spread. The T category describes the size and location of the tumor, the N category describes the involvement of lymph nodes, and the M category describes the presence of distant metastasis.
For example, a patient with pancreatic cancer that is T1a, N0, M0 has a tumor that is 2 centimeters or smaller and has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. This is considered to be stage I pancreatic cancer.
Thanks Bard
I’ve never heard of any of these terms from doctors or in her medical records. First they said it was Stage IV, then they said it wasn’t. Then they said it looked like it spread to other organs; but they did not confirm or deny it.
CT scans are fallible and even the doctor said they aren’t 100% accurate. Biopsies can confirm Cancer; but how many people are walking around with cancer? A lot, especially pancreatic cancer because it’s usually caught late. It’s the mind that gives up, especially when everyone around here drops the ball. According to the information above she was diagnosed with Stage 1 T1b. I’ll have to check that when I have time. Lmao
Now I get to do more research. Yay. On top of everything else I’m doing.
The reality is that no one is questioning anything, nor is anyone contributing to ensuring that she has the best care in her situation. It looks like this: ‘She has pancreatic cancer so let me do my duty to let her know I love her and say my goodbyes.’ And then exit the building and think “I’ll buy some flowers until she’s gone.” “I’ll go to her funeral and act like I did something.” It’s pretty selfish, gross, and absolutely disgusting!
This is mainly directed at her biological siblings who send a bouquet of flowers once in awhile with a short note stating their love for her so it can appease their conscience. This is not how to treat people you love.
There are four of you. You can only afford to send her one bouquet from all of you once a month? Her reaction after I read the card today: “Is that it?” One of the flowers smelled good and she turned over in bed.
Did you know she smells every flower and if it doesn’t smell beautiful, she’s disappointed. I mean if you love someone, you would take the time to know what she likes. Her room should be filled with fragrant flowers.
She’s dying. She’s not dead yet. Stop acting like she is. How much of your lack of involvement in her life has affected her mental health? If you call her, try listening and stop acting like she doesn’t understand. She may be slower to respond, that doesn’t mean she can’t or doesn’t have a response. It’s called patience. I’ve literally witnessed people talking to her and not allowing her time to respond and then ending the conversation without a care in the world of whether your presence actually mattered to her.
If you want to say you aren’t calling because I’m recording conversations, well I was only doing that because of hospice at the time and because I thought her loved ones would appreciate the memory. I’m usually there when she’s talking because I’m handing her the phone and I stay because I help answer the questions you’re asking because she needs help sometimes especially if she’s tired from too much activity. Did you call when it was a good time for her?
Maybe talk to the only people here for her who are trying to help her. She’s a night owl, so calling her at 10 am doesn’t work for her.
Sorry to bother you. Go about your life and maybe you’ll see her again or not. According to the Bible, you’ve defiled your religion. James 1:27
1 Timothy 5:3-16 reads in the New International Version (NIV):
3 Honor widows who are truly widows. 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should learn to show godliness to their own family and to repay their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God. 5 Now she who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day, 6 but she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives. 7 Give these instructions, so that they may be above reproach. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
9 Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband, 10 and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted, and has devoted herself to every good work. 11 But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry 12 and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith. 13 Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.14 So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander. 15 For some have already strayed after Satan. 16 If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her care for them. Let the church not be burdened, so that it may care for those who are truly widows.
This passage is from the book of 1 Timothy, which is a letter from the apostle Paul to Timothy, a young minister in the early church. In this passage, Paul is giving instructions on how to care for widows in the church. He emphasizes the importance of providing for widows who are truly in need, and he warns against the dangers of supporting younger widows who may be more likely to abandon their faith.
The passage also highlights the importance of women in the early church. Paul encourages younger widows to marry and have children, but he also emphasizes the importance of their role in caring for other widows. This passage shows that women played a vital role in the early church, and it provides a model for how we can care for widows today.
I’m not complaining about caring for my mom. It is pleasing in the sight of God. That’s not why I’m doing what I’m doing. I’m doing what is right because everyone else copped out. Yet, I’m not worthy to God, in the eyes of a Jehovah’s Witness? I am worthy despite their brainwashed delusions. Even the scriptures say so. And I know so.
I’m complaining about her believing family members who are Jehovah’s Witnesses who claim they love her; but are not doing shit.
Maybe all of you believe she is already dead spiritually, so you pay mouth service on her dying bed?
Just so you know, I haven’t berated you to her. It just sickens me to watch her feel so alone when all of you could and should step up. I’m taking care of all the dirty work for you, the least you can do is spend time with her even if it’s only on the phone. You could engage in figuring out how to help her because if anything, she’ll die of a complication from not getting proper care rather than pancreatic cancer. I’m sure the autopsy will enlighten us.
How will you feel if she dies of starvation due to her mental illness somewhat caused by extreme loneliness?
Honestly I don’t know if anyone is listening. If you are, thank you. I’m doing my best to help her with unstable support.
