Very interesting, Maelstrom, I lost my mother to this disease, 3 weeks after diagnosis.

I lost my best friend to this last year. First diagnosis and she was stage 4. She was only 65.

My daughter has had gastro problems. She doesn't know about my friend (who lived in Florida-We're in NY).

Made sure my daughter has had every test there is to make sure it's not pancreatic cancer.

Yes, it can be very quick. About twenty years ago I was headed for the far east for about a month over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Three days before Thanksgiving I met a friend I hadn’t seen in a while for lunch, age 49, he’d put on a few pounds with his new girlfriend’s cooking, he told me life was great.

I called him the day after my return, about three days before New Year’s. Someone else answered the phone, told me he’d died the week before of pancreatic cancer.
