I've had three wonderful friends die over the last couple of years from this awful cancer. And Alex Trebek. I hope they develop an inexpensive early test for it. God bless you you all that have it, and your loved ones.

Cookie Bean, Patrick Swayze, Cardinal Bernadine of Chicago, my dad and aunt by marriage, none had any of the risk factors either!!! Terrible sneaky cancer!!!!

Pancreatic cancer supposedly has no noticeable symptoms in early stages. typically it's found at stage 3 or worse, hence the high fatality percentage.
Player Say what!?
Player #19719147, A good friend of mine had chronic stomach pains and went to a doctor after I told her that's not normal. She passed 4 months later.

My sister died from pancreatic cancer in 2021, two years after being diagnosed. She fought it and tried to remain positive but couldn't beat it.

Luciano Pavarotti, Patrick Swayze, and Alex Trebek are just 3 celebrities that died from it. They did bring some attention to its seriousness- but more cancer research is needed.

My otherwise healthy mom was diagnosed on 12/24/20 and died exactly one month later.

My brother died of tonsil cancer. It had a 98% mortality rate. Seems that is worse than 92%.

Pancreatic cancer is really scary !! Even lung cancer and brain cancer are more manageable or curable, well, at least today. Just seven years ago that was untrue.

My Dad died from it. The Dr said it was from smoking( a pack a day) and stress. He also never exercised but was never overweight.
