Thank you for taking care of your mother this way. Your screen name says it all. I have a great 22 year old son as well. My grandmother took over the counter pancreatic enzymes and seemed to help. Hope something works out for her. Livestrong.com also helps to arrange meds/tx. financial help. Good luck.

Hi sonofwarrior, I take it that you are the son of the person with pancreatic cancer. Welcome to WhatNext...a great website where you can meet people like yourself. There are several people on this site who have/had pancreatic cancer, and those who are caregivers for those who have pancreatic cancer. I myself am a 13 year pancreatic cancer survivor, so you know this can be beat. If you would like you can watch a video that Greg, (manager of WhatNext), and I made of my journey with pancreatic cancer. Here is the link: http://youtu.be/vsnyYsRTOBA
If you have any questions at all go to the top of the WhatNext page and hit the tab for QUESTIONS. Again welcome to WhatNext, a family of those who may be newly diagnosed with cancer, or those who are in the middle of their cancer journey, or those who are at the end of their journey and who have survived pancreatic cancer. Then there are those who are caregivers. So I am certain that some of us should be able to answer your questions.
My best to you, and your mother, (I'm guessing),
Russ

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx.
