Lost my dad to pancreatic cancer just after Christmas in 2009. The last time I saw him he was hardly even aware of what was going on around him.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

My Dad was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in 1983 shortly after my wife and I had learned that his first grandchild was on the way.  Dad did not smoke.  Sadly the race was on and I went from the funeral of my Dad to less than a month later the birth of my son.  Not a good time.

I believe treatment is better now and Chemo isn't as difficult, but as most have said, anytime Cancer is involved it's not a good thing.  I wish all the best to you and your family with this.

Move to England where survival rates are over 75% for 3 years after diagnosis and treatment is free to all citizens regardless of income or insurance
I love our National Health Service
 But to be serious good luck and never give up, I don't pray as I am a non believer but positive thoughts coming your way
Of course I'm right I'm British

All I can say is that I wish you the best of luck and to make the time you have left count.

I say this from experience and that is as far as I wish to elaborate on that.
