The cancer has probably metastasized. Gets in the lymph system and spreads. Amy should stay close to the phone.

It seems as if her pancreatic cancer is inoperable at this stage and they are managing it with radiation therapy to control size/obstructive symptoms. Would you agree?

Nope. He had adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
Apparently hers was/is a neuroendocrine CA of pancreas. Can be very slow growing, much less aggressive and more treatable. Still doesn't sound like she has long at this point.

Looked up a few studies and biliary stenting does appear to be primarily a palliative measure. Median survival times after stenting in one study was 143 days and in another 2.4 - 10.2 months. It is likely though that the majority of these are in cases of adenocarcinoma and not neuroendocrine.
