First of all, pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver is not early stage. In fact it is last stage (stage 4). Sorry for the bad news but stage 4 pancreatic cancer cannot be cured and the entire treatment is now aimed at increasing his life span and to keep him as comfortable as possible. To that aim the chemotherapy is being given.
