Hi,
There is always variation in life expectancy as [life style, medication, family support, psychological regions are always playing their role and can prolong lifetime]. Moreover, 7% is overall 5 year survival, relative 1 year survival in pancreatic cancer is 28%. He must attend online OMBW [art of living course] it have proved to increase life expectancy by unknown regions if he is capable of sitting and talk.
