Hello, my sister has just been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, (yesterday), and is in quite a state. I an aware of the seriousness of this form of cancer and dire outcome. I also read of a new drug called Abrazane. There are issues with Govt funding for this drug for treatment of Pancreatic C, but not Breast Cancer. Is this drug available either Govt funded and not, and is this drug are viable alternative to prolong life. Thanks. Brian James

The mainstay of pancreatic cancer is usually by surgery. You still need to tell us whether your doctor has advised surgery or not. New chemotherapy drugs are being advised for advanced pancreatic cancer or after surgery. Your oncologist will be your best guide in this respect.
