Dear user
Looks like advanced pancreatic cancer.
Ideally patients with this cancer in an advanced stage and poor general condition should be managed with best supportive care rather than aggressive therapy
Next Steps

He had advanced pancreatic cancer and it is very difficult to revert back to his normal. But his symptoms has been reduced with supportive treatment. Supportive treatment includes Ascictic fluid removal, pain killers, nutritional supplements, Ursodeoxycholic acid tablets for itching
