Almost certainly a death sentence. Isn't that what Patrick Swazee has?

Yes, it is.

Yes - that’s what Patrick Swazee has. It’s usually a very quick parting from this earth. Most patients are diagnosed very late in the game.

My husband works with a man whose wife beat pancreatic cancer. She went through hell with high dose chemo but it worked. She’s been around for fifteen years so far and is still in remission.

I believe pancreatic cancer has a 10% cure rate. It’s very low but some do survive, probably if you get it early enough.
