"Natasha" is right - to know that her age could help, but the diagnosis of cancer requires a biopsy test. X-ray evidence of a lesion of 2 inches is not enough to be safe. Further evidence is needed to determine the best tissue diagnosis - a biopsy. We look forward to hearing your thoughts about this simple, but we can not give a good answer on this point.
I have a parent who had a mass of 2 inches at the end of the pancreas, which proved to be pancreatic cancer. If at the end of the pancreas, which is much better than at the beginning of the pancreas, and surgery can eliminate 70% of the pancreas, so that some functions of insulin. Chemotherapy can live better control the possible spread of his chances for a good years rather than months.
If you can not pay, ask laparocopy try exploratory surgery to see the spread of a small video camera. If you only have most operations of the pancreas were removed, have to be aggressive and take no unnecessary lymph nodes and possibly gall bladder, if the doctor thinks it is a possibility of expansion.
From the experience I had with my parents, I sugNot to give Engr. I would not rely on blood tests either. Blood tests are not accurate in detecting cancer. You need a CT scan with contrast to see this type of cancer and detect the spread.
If you go to chemotherapy, according to drug treatment for each variation of one year of treatment with Tarceva conventional chemotherapy. You may have to be distributed a med at recognizing and one years ineffective.
You should monitor this type of cancer and to report any symptoms, especially pain in each area. This happened to my relatives. It includes two products without prior notice, and the scans I have not. She had an allergy to iodine scans were performed without contrast. The pain has been reported, but the doctors said it was not cancer, because the scans were OK. Scagen a small portion of his liver, was not to be larger. It was a false sense of security and poor medical outcome. The doctors gave him a thorough med think that pain a little lower. It does not affect their treatment and have remained in the traditional chemotherapy for 3 years with few breaks every 2 months. Doctors thought it worked, but I do not have to work for long. Doctors do not want to therapy, because the illusion that changing traditional chemotherapy. She died in 3 years because of this dispersion has not been properly diagnosed. It could be long lived with the diagnosis and treatment.
