There are several summary pieces here that address these issues on the pancreatic cancer part of the website:
http://cancergrace.org/pancreatic-cancer/
Your question reminded me that we're overdue in delivering a few additional pieces on pancreatic cancer, so I'll ask if you can check the resources up on that link now, and I'll pledge to add another program or two in the next few days that will help address some of these specific issues.
Beyond those programs, however, we can't speak to specific prognosis or treatment recommendation issues for another person who isn't our patient. It's very appropriate to ask these questions of her own doctor, who should be able to address them in more specific terms beyond our general discussion of the leading considerations.
Good luck.
