Comment on FDA approves first in class targeted therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer

Comments

Not a nice disease to get. Ranks up there with glioblastoma multiforme, advanced oesophageal cancer and advanced duodenal cancer.

I am aggressive and investigate aggressively to detect pancreatic cancer early. One even had a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy ), since I detected it so early.

Despite that, the longest anyone I diagnosed has lived has only been 8 months.

Sad, they were all nice people.

glioblastoma multiforme

Killed my dad the same year he retired. Really stuck with me about how important living for today is.
