What can my mother expect from a Biopsy for Pancreatic Cancer?

The biopsy will tell the doctor the grade, rate of metastasis, stage and cell types causing this cancer. there's always hope that tests were read wrong or were inconclusive. We all want that misdiagnosis. The fact that your mom is jaundice means her liver is involved. It's the bile that causes the jaundice. Doctors don't usually need biopsy to determine palliative care when it comes to pancreatic cancer that's metastasize. It's more or less to see how far along the cancer has advanced Everyone reacts differently to how cancer affects them. We are all different. Some can live a while with this, others can't. I do want to say how sorry I am your mom is ill. I pray she knows that special peace that passes all understanding. God bless both of you.
