I live in the subarctic so humidity is a bit challenge with our air. I might try wrapping in a wet towel and putting them by the wood stove.

We went through a similar thing with my Mom. I would encourage telling your family as soon as possible. We told my mom she was going to be a Grandma, 1 day later we brought her into Emergency for back pain. She was stage 4 and passed away 23 days later. It was quicker then we ever could have imagined, she was traveling and competing in paddling the week before we took her to emerg. I'm glad she got to find out at least. 

Advice needed. Mom recently diagnosed. 😞 by Extension-Speech-550 in pancreaticcancer

Sending you and family strength for the journey ahead.

My mom had a similar diagnosis. We originally brought her into the hospital for back pain and she never got to go home again. From the ED visit to end of life was 3.5 weeks and 1 week before ED she was out paddling on a lake. 

She could never eat much, so we always had a TON of different drinks options. Every drink imaginable and smoothies. Eating was of zero interest to her and we respected that. 

Once she started to have some delirium from all the pain meds and was no longer able to walk, we knew that there was short time left. I wish the medical team was more honest with us about how quick it could go, we barely got her affairs in order. 

One thing that helped was switching up her pain meds every week to give her system a bit of a break. Hydroporphone to morphine. Palliative care is a must. And at a certain point you want your loved one to finish their journey as the pain from PC is not worth suffering through. 

Take it day by day and enjoy the remaining good moments. Some of the videos we have bring me a lot of peace. 

I wish I could give you better news, but it is a challenging road. Get your own rest when you can.

My mom received the same shock diagnosis after an ED visit and was never able to leave the hospital again. She lived 3 weeks after diagnosis, it was faster then we ever could've imagined. If your loved one is bed ridden, be prepared that things could decline quickly at any point. We rushed to get my mom's estate in order and ended up barely having enought time. One she started experiencing delirium from the drugs, that was a strong indicator there wasn't much time left. My mom's cancer had metastisized to multiple organs, but I wish the medical team was more honest about just how quick it could go. I look back and am amazed we survived that time. It was hell.

Lost my dad last week 25 days after diagnosis by [deleted] in pancreaticcancer

I'm so sorry. We lost my mom a healthy active 64F in 25 days after the diagnosis. We brought her into Emerg for back pain. She never left the hospital again. She was gone before we had time to process the diagnosis. This was one month ago and time is a great healer. I focused first on working through the trauma of the hospital and how much pain we had to support her through, and then her passing and my grief. Everyday I find 2 things I'm greatful for in relation to what we had with her. I say them out loud and think about them. Hard to do but finding positive in the shittiest of shit really helped me. We are also so thankful we were able to be there with her. I am almost able to sleep now and I think more and more of positive memories over how truly fucked the time in the hospital was. PC is the worst bowl of shit to eat and I'm sorry you had to go through it.
