Andy is claiming to have pancreatic cancer...very fast spreading and VERY fatal...30% survival rate. He's been claiming to have had it since Febuary.

They must have really made some progress in treating pancreatic cancer then - I posted on another thread that the survival rate was less than 10 percent as recently as a couple of years ago. If he's had it since February, and if he's not had any treatment for it since, then he's got to be right at death's doorstep, and there's probably nothing anyone can do for him now. This kind of cancer generally kills in a matter of weeks.

According to the Mayo Clinic website...

"Although pancreatic cancer accounts for just 2 percent of new cancer cases in the United States, it's the fourth leading cause of all cancer deaths. That's because pancreatic cancer spreads rapidly and is seldom detected in its early stages. Symptoms such as yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice), abdominal pain and unexplained weight loss may not appear until the disease is quite advanced. By that time, the cancer is likely to have spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body and surgical removal is no longer possible."

If this weren't a scam, they would have been raising money for his funeral a couple of months ago.

And if he is "right at death's doorstep", why does that MSNBC screenshot, seemingly taken in April, show such a healthy person???
