[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have any answers. We went through almost the opposite with my dad. He developed significant dementia relatively quickly that we were so focused on chasing supports for his delusions that we missed his pancreatic cancer. We only found out about his cancer a week before he passed. We had been dealing with the sudden onset of dementia for about 4 months. So, it was kind of a shock that he was gone so fast after finding the cancer. We decided not to treat the cancer/symptoms because his quality of life was so poor due to the dementia. Although, I don't think there was much to be done for cancer. And I don't know how much the dementia and the cancer were intertwined. It is a touch road no matter what. [/quote] The dementia may have been metastasis to the brain. Pancreatic cancer is such a fast killer. Sorry your dad went through all this. [/quote]
