I really appreciate the response
I’m ok
Just lost a close friend to pancreatic cancer. Was diagnosed in November and passed away yesterday. Amazing how quickly it progressed and how this disease can take someone who was seemingly a healthy individual to bed ridden and pain stricken. 0-100 just leaving people stunned.

Sorry to hear that. Pancreatic cancer is sadly usually a death sentence.

Sorry to hear that. Pancreatic cancer is sadly usually a death sentence.

Thank you and it really is. By the time someone is showing symptoms it’s usually far too late. Even after his diagnosis he felt fine. Although the odds were against him everyone was very positive because of how he felt, hell even his oncologist was amazed that a guy with stage 4 pancreatic cancer was looking/feeling so good. Then unfortunately it’s the stroke likely caused by the cancer that brought everything to a halt. Couldn’t do chemotherapy as that would have increased the risk of another stroke. Just goes to show how important it is to go see your doctor just for simple check ups.

My heart goes out to everyone battling this devastating disease. I know we’re all affected by this horrible disease one way or another.
