Now that my dad’s pancreatic cancer pain is worsening he is hyperactive and wants to do a million things around the house. While I admire his determination to seek zest in life this hyperactivity is often followed by extreme fatigue and rage and mood swings. Because of his temper and rage I don’t argue but then he gets so mad when I’m not “overworking” like he is and he accuses me of ignoring him when I say nothing.

Leah, is dad on hospice?

I recall when my sil was dying of pancreatic cancer, she had a sudden burst of energy, sat up in her hospital bed, negotiated several deals on behalf of some clients (over the course of a couple of days) and then crashed. And died.

I would call dad's oncologist to discuss.

Is he on steroids? You should speak with his physician. My FIL had PC and he didn't display this type of behavior so I'm gonna guess it's either a medication thing or an inner gear that's kicked in as he comes to grips with his imminent mortality.
