Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Honestly speaking stage 4 pancreatic cancer is having very poor prognosis. No question of five year survival rate as it is very negligible. Life expectancy in stage 4 pancreatic cancer is less than 9 months. But when Whipple procedure is failed, life expectancy will be decreased further. So in my opinion, in your husbands' case life expectancy is less than 4-5 months.
