My mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on friday 31st october 2008. halloween day. how do i know when she is close to death? i mean within days or even hours?
its just me in the house on my own with her and i dont want it to be like that when she dies. i know she would want family with her also.
i have read stories of people being diagnosed and dying days or weeks later
i just want to know what to look out for when i know its gonna come really soon
im only 16 and i have to go to school also so im not even able to be there during the day
i have my gcses to do and social services are pretty much forcing me to be in school

I think my mom might be depressed and I don’t know what to do or how to help her. Some background information is my step dad passed away last year of pancreatic cancer. We were both so sad when he died but she still seemed ok. But lately she has been not acting like herself. She goes to work, makes me dinner and then goes to sleep. She has always been a great mom, the best actually. She still asks me about my day and obviously care about me, but I can’t explain it, it’s not the same. I can feel her sadness and it feels so heavy. Earlier tonight when i walked into her room i noticed her eyes were really puffy from crying. I don’t know what to do because it’s just me and her now. I don’t know how to help her. I love her so much and it feels so painful to me that she is so sad. Please don’t tell me to find another adult to talk to because I don’t know of any other adult that i want to tell this to. How can I help her? I’m also 15 so I can’t drive myself or her anywhere or do anything like that.

Patrick Swayze died today after a long battle with cancer. He was 57. Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008. His publicist says he died with his family at his side. He was the star of such movies as “Ghost,” “Dirty Dancing,” and “Road House.” Swayze was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 1991.
Time of my life will be played for remembrance and as our first song at my wedding. It was our most favorite song and movie to watch together as a couple.

There is a girl on my soccer team that recently found out that her mother has pancreatic cancer. There is no cure or treatment for this kind of cancer and her mother has been told that she has less than a year to live. The girl sent out an email asking for words of encouragement for her mother and I would really like to send a card with a personal message in it. The only problem is I don’t know her mom personally and I am at a loss for what to say. I’ve never had anyone close to me that had a terminal cancer and I’m not entirely sure what kind of message is appropriate in this situation. I’m also not sure how religious she is or to which faith she belongs.
Should I thank her for her support (of the soccer team) and tell her to be strong? Should I assure her that everything will be okay? Any kind of advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

she has pancreatic cancer and was diagnosed 3-4 mths ago. She has been having good and bad days but is now very weak, She doesn’t have a living will, and everything is starting to look ugly, meaning my brother and other sisters are all fighting among themselves as far as my moms property. My oldest sister and brother and my mom are named owners of moms home. She has talked to me (i am the youngest) that she wants them to sign a quit cailm deed so the house can be only under her name. Then she wants to sell the house to one of the siblings and therefore distribute accordingly… Can this be done? My moms okay sometimes but is very forgetfull lately and will a lawyer want to draw up a will? If I become the executor can I choose which siblings get money? I knw it sounds mean but I have a sister that has been sooo mean to my mom all her life and all of a sudden she comes to see my mom telling her she has changed, yeah right shes a snake!!!I just dont want her in my moms living will…
