How did my husband die of Stage 4 cancer?

Supposedly the cancer causes the dehyration which led to me calling emergency services when he fell in the bathroom. When he was diagnosed, they said he had 3 months. I brought him home for hospice on August 9th and he died a week lated on August 16th.

When did my husband find out he had cancer?

The crazy thing about it is we found out about cancer on August 1st by the 18th he passed away.

How did my husband find out he had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer?

After having to quit the trials we were basically left to our own devices. He had blood tests and scans but when his CA 9-19 markers went up to 450 nothing was mentioned to us and from there the cancer spread like wild fire. When they told us in July that he was stage 4 my husband was unprepared. He made it about 8 weeks.
