The fact that the numbers are sky high(Which means the cancer is back) and he lost 12 pounds in one week its not good..he was probably given strong chemo the 1st time to kill the cancer, for chemo to work a 2nd time would take a miracle. Its probably back with a vengeance..my Dad had colon cancer that spread to his liver, he lived 1 year, the chemo did wonders, but when it came back boy did it come back like wildfire in his liver

The secret is easy, finding it by accident when you have ZERO symptoms..that is the only reason why Ginsberg is still alive..there is a difference between having an MRI when you already have symptoms(like not being able to eat and having jaundice) and having no symptoms, getting a random MRI for something else and the doc saying “Hey lookie here”
Well said
Olivia Newton-John who is also battling cancer for the 3rd time sent an encouraging note to Alex when his cancer became public.
What causes pancreatic cancer??
That is sad to hear.
