Only about 5-6% recover from Pancreatic Cancer, since it presents no symptoms, until the cancer spreads to other organs, and they then present symptoms. By then, it’s too late and the patient only has a few weeks or months to live, depending upon the Oncology Surgeon’s prognosis, after splitting open the patient from neck to groin in the OR.
The Whipple Procedure basically guts those afflicted organs and the person with advanced cancer is on machines for the rest of their time left.
50,000 - 70,000 die from it each year. Notable Steve Job and Patrick Swayze among them.
The 5-6% are very, very, very lucky it’s gotten in 1st stage. I was rushed to York Hospital when a CT-Scan showed a tumor - re-diagnosed as a pseudo-cyst - on my pancreas, the size of a grapefruit, in March 2017.
After 4 operations (endoscopies) and pigtail drainage stents into the cyst to drain into the stomach, losing 131-lbs, all body fat and 90% of muscle, dying 2x in OR at YH, I’m now being treated at PSU-Hershey Hospital by their crack GI Team, with another 9 operations. Making a slow, full recovery wo/ having gall bladder out.
Colon cancer presents symptoms early and is readily treatable. I know numerous survivors, and they’re doing well after a rough time of it.
Buzzy Ginsberg was more than lucky to have escaped alive, as was I.
What a shame. I’m sorry to hear that.
Im surprised they could even get an X-ray that fast in DC.
This article explains it better than I did...

She has probably secured the Clinton Scooby-Doo van.
Did the fall happen prior to the election?
Body Double screening now.
She did handsprings down the boulevard, then helped to push a car which was stuck in a ditch.
These days hospitals try to get you out as quickly as possible, partly so the patient is not exposed to various pathogens that float around the hospital from all the OTHER patients.
If she’s “working from home”, she probably has 24/7 nursing care there. If she has fractured ribs, she is probably bed-ridden. Her lack of activity will lead to other issues.
Plastic surgeons busy maybe...
They didnt want her in the Kavanaugh picture for some reason. She will go underground for awhile now. Just like Hillary did in 2015.
That’s very interesting.
Melvyn Douglas' Academy Awardwinning character in "Being There" is what immediately pops into my mind. His bedroom hospital suite was fit for a billionaire.
The old bag probably has a full crew of doctors and nurses waiting on her hand and foot 24/7. That’s Obamacare for the bureaucRATS.
They feed off our life force.
She can"t retire. Her leftist, communist, hate America
ideology rules her life. She would die for it.
I suspect she'll never set foot in the Supreme Court building again.
My dad broke a vertebra last year at 87, and was gone within two months.
