Estimated new cases and deaths from pancreatic cancer in the United States in 2005:
New cases: 32,180.
Deaths: 31,800.
Andy should have picked something else. If he truly does have pancreatic cancer, he is pretty much doomed. If he does not, then he is scamming the DUmmies.
Those were my thoughts, even though I didn't express them. My wife passed from cancer, and at one time they suspected pancreatic before the final diagnosis. I looked it up and the odds are very slim for a 6 month survival after diagnosis.
