Hello aline, I very sorry your mother is going through these difficult problems.
I will ask our doctor who specializes in pancreatic cancer to comment. I must confess I don't know enough about this type of cancer to say anything about it; even whether it translate into questions he will be able to comment on.
Cancer is so complicated that it's a language all it's own.
I hope she will feel better soon,
Janine

I'm afraid I think it's not going to be possible for us to know the cause of her symptoms, which might be from the cancer itself, or possibly from infection or just inflammation after the surgery. There are several possible causes for the symptoms you're describing following surgery in someone with pancreatic cancer, so I would encourage you to reach out to her doctors, who have access to the relevant details, to see if they have an explanation.
Good luck.
