Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Shame for the bloke, it's one of the least survivable forms of cancer, especially if it's got to his liver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read the Reuteurs link myself by the way I read it somewhere else, as reading through the link I posted it also states the five week timeframe was untrue .

Not exactly: Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer typically have a poor prognosis partly because the cancer usually causes no symptoms early on, leading to metastatic disease at time of diagnosis. Median survival from diagnosis is around 3 to 6 months; 5-year survival is much less than 5% With 37,170 new diagnoses in the United States every year, and 33,700 deaths, pancreatic cancer has the highest fatality rate of all cancers and is the fourth highest cancer killer in the United States among both men and women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12460 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 I meant good as in he didn't only have weeks to live at least now he has a better chance than I originally thought, although reading those statistics it doesn't look like he stands much chance against it.
