Don't give up: If it's a small tumor in the head of the pancreas, then you may still have a chance at a cure. There are high-risk super-aggressive surgeries that are producing a higher cure rate than in the past.

Weeks to months: Typically with that it is weeks to months. Sadly we cannot predict this well, but with those it means that it will not be long. I am so sorry.
