She is having an advanced stage of pancreatic cancer. with blood vessel involvement she would be in either stage 3 or stage 4. biliary stent and pain medications are palliative measures. please ask your treating doctor to give more pain medications and drugs for vomiting. however there is a small hope in case your doctor is giving down staging chemotherapy for a possible future surgery. you can clarify this with your doctor. all the best
