Pancreas Cancer Center

Question: Pancreas cancer? Radiation treatment? (My Friend) 3 in one question? Hello , My good friend has pancreatic cancer she is only nineteen years old and she is very dainty she a very tiny person she weighs about a 104 Lbs. and i was curious is she going to be weak from the radiation because of her size? also i wanted to know is throwing up blood normal ? because i notice she threw up alot of blood last night and she went to the hospital she already has cancer to her cervix and bones because it spread? could she have stomach cancer? I'm truly worried about her , she needs some good medical care i mean she has alot of money but she chooses to go to the cancer treatment center of America in PA. she really needs to go to LA for the treatment she needs , can anyone give me adivce on what to say to her about getting help i don't want to sound rude. Thanks

Answer: Didn't your last question about this get deleted? I can find NO cases of a 19 yr old female with pancreatic cancer. If by some miracle, she has this, it would not cause her to throw up blood. Basically the same answer I gave you before.
