The five year survival rate just recently hit 10% and that's for all ages, with the survival rate being around 3-4x higher for those who are younger (vast majority of those diagnosed are 50+ with most even being 70+). For example, pic related shows just how much it varies by age, and keep in mind that was 15 years ago and cancer treatment is always improving. Obviously note that is for all stages though, not necessarily just stage four, although pancreatic cancer is one of those ones that tends to be asymptomatic until later stages.

Again, yes it is a very bleak outcome, but it is not just an instant death sentence and that mentality is very harmful.
