A member asked:
How long will someone who had pancreatic cancer who stopped chemo live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies : It really depends on type of cancer. Typical adenocarcinoma, perhaps a yr. Other types longer. Also depends on if chemo was helping or not. This is best answered by someone who is following him over time. The usual answer for all comers, 6 months to a yr, unfortunately.
