I was under the impression that there are different types of pancreatic cancer, some are treatable and the deadly one(s). I personally know of two people that died in the last 3 weeks of pancreatic cancer. I suspect by the time someone has symptoms and is diagnosed, it’s too late. My friend lasted six weeks after symptoms (stomach cramps) and at first gallstones were suspected. When it was confirmed pancreatic cancer, it was too late for him.

Yes. My mother died of PC in 2018 -- 45 days from diagnosis to death.

I often wonder how Ruth Bader Ginsberg lasted so many years. Either she didn't actually have PC or she sold her soul to the devil.

Few months at best.

On a family visit, my Mother noticed that her brother-in-law looked yellowish. Up until that point he had no symptoms.

The initial doctor at a local hospital told the family that he probably had a year to live. He changed doctors and found a surgeon at NYU who operated on his pancreas and treated him with chemo.

After all that, he lived just short of a year.
