Uncle might die of Pancreas Cancer?!?

Q: My uncle has had a lot of problems.3 years ago he came to Canada to live with my family for a few months, while he was here he caused A LOT of problems. When he went back his son committed suicide, his wife divorced him and his other son didn’t talk to him much. Right now, he barely has any family left cause my dad hates him cause of what he did (my mom though is kind of sad about it since he’s her brother) When he went back to Portugal after his son died he traveled around Portugal (drinking a lot) and we haven’t heard news from him in a long time!Today, my aunt’s friend called her saying he had Pancreas cancer for about 1 month and he’s in the hospital in a different city (far away) my aunt couldn’t go (I don’t know why) and right now we can’t go.. NO ONE has visited him minus his friend (who I don’t know). He told my aunt he’s very confused right now too.I heard my parents talking during dinner about how their doing an operation today and that my parents will receive news sometimes later tonight. I’m not sure about what thought. I think it might be if he died or not.My dad couldn’t care less for him, my uncle was sometimes nice to me but most of the time he wasn’t.Now that I think of it though, he didn’t deserve it and I wanna write him something or call him, but we don’t have his number or know which hospital or any of that and I know my dad would disapprove.Not even his EX WIFE OR 2nd SON will visit him. It makes me feel horrible that he’s laying in a hospital bed for 1 month now with barely any visits, I feel sorry for him.What can I do ! I don’t wanna him to die, I’m 14 by the way.

A: to die alone and have no one care about you is really really sad….you’re 14 yrs old and it’s a bit too late….. he’s a bit far away. if only you knew about bob beck and had read his paper called “take back your power”…… he made a protocol called the bob beck protocol and it’s an alternative to the dangerous chemo. u must research this yourself to protect someone in the future. or if u would rather watch tv it’s understandable for a 14yr old

can you tell me what kind of cancer she had?

Q: My grandmother passed away yesterday morning.. Here is what happened.. Monday– she went to the doctor and he ran tests and sent her homeTuesday– my mom took her into the ER.. they admitted her around 3 and said she had pneumonia and a tumor on her lungs.. Around 9 at night they told us she had cancer and it was in he stomach liver pancreas and lungs. That’s all they told us. Wednesday– they told us it was spreading really fast around 2. later they gave us 2 days to 2 weeks.. they said it was already too late and it was in her brain and blood stream..Thursday.. Somewhere between 1230 a.m. and 5 a.m. she left this world..I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it could have been. The doctors aren’t running any tests to see and i’m scared my family could inherit it.. I don’t think i could go through this again..

A: it sounds like she died of a Lung tumor, which had metastasized (spread out) to her other organs. It depends on where the primary tumor started. It could also have started in the liver, but it’s hard to say. Obviously, it had been going on for quite some time without her knowing about it. Cancer spreads very fast, so unless the primary tumor is caught very early, it will grow and spread, eventually throughout the whole body. What happened in the ER was: They did a chest x ray and saw the lung tumor, then did a lot of other tests to eventually find out that it was basically everywhere.Yes, it may run in your family, or it could have been caused by smoking or some other outside influence. Get regular check ups and don’t do anything unhealthy.I’m so sorry about your grandma.
