Terminal pancreatic cancer, what a horrible and painful way to die at such an early age. Life is extremely tough. Here's hoping that some sort of miraculous hold off or remission occurs

That is horrible news

This is all based on National Enquirer info, so take that for what you must.

my wife thinks I am a kook to have bloodwork done so regularly, but let me tell you you dont know what you have festering underneath man.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst cancers to have. Heres hoping its not as bad as it sounds.....

Saw him on TV recently and thought to myself "he is really sick or he went to the same plastic surgeon as Bruce Jenner!"

Sad if it is the former.

This

is a downright lie. I just read the People article on www.cnn.com, the timeframe part is BS and hes responding decently to treatment. Sensational reporting at its finest.....

I certainly agree with having regular lab work, but some stuff (like pancreatic cancer) doesn't show up in the lab work until the horse is out of the proverbial barn.

You're correct about that. Average survival time after diagnosis is four to nine months. A few of the lucky ones live two years. Five year survival rate, last time I checked, was about 5%. Long story short...If you have pancreatic CA, you're going to die and sooner rather than later.
