How is pancreatic cancer diagnosed? | Jreissati Pancreatic Centre

My friend's mom (aged 57) is SERIOUSLY ILL, but the doctors are NOT telling us WTF it is, cuz they don't have enough 'conclusive evidence' to diagnose/prognose her. Basically just telling LIES, and NOT being honest about her illness. Well, she is put on MORPHINE now and I seriously doubt that could be a sign of anything good. She feels INTENSE PAIN in her spine, that spreads all the way to her hands/feet. When she sits down to eat, she has NO appetite and also feels pain in her throat and stomach. Her skin is all blackened from the side-effects of Morphine (multiple doses per day), and she needs help moving around cuz her legs are WEAK. It's been like 90+ degrees lately, and she is all bundled/covered up in heavy winter clothes and CAN'T leave the house. At this rate, I don't think she's gonna last very long. I've asked various people (pharmacists and herbalists), and most of them told me it could be some form of TERMINAL CANCER.
What do YOU think it might be? 🤔

There is no " best " treatment option.The 5-year net survival for pancreatic cancer is 10%.

I heard you should never put a needle into a tumor/mass

A CT or MRI won't detect it until it's huge or has already metastasized. The Pancreas is almost hidden.

Diagnosed early if the doctors do a CA19-9 cancer blood marker test then if needed a CT scan.
they don't do these.
