Yes and even Steve Jobs could not come up with the ipancreas. Life is also a death sentence and not to many people deal with that straight up and all perfect when they come to realize that means none of us get out of here alive.

Not necessarily anymore. They are using new techniques all the time now. There is the cyberknife surgery (laser) that has been very effective on those with certain types of pancreatic cancer, and there is a new type of treatment, similar to the cyberknife laser surgery, only using electrical pulses of some sort (being done at a hospital in Louisville, KY). One of my relatives had this surgery, and has been told that his cancer is totally gone, using this new method).

There are Ads currently running on TV that feature a woman named Peggy speaking about the cyberknife laser surgery and how it cured her type of pancreatic cancer, and it is five years now since she had her surgery (she’s a real person, not a TV model). So, as more attention is being paid to pancreatic cancer and how to cure it, more and more new methods are hitting the market that will provide a much better survival rate for these types of cancers and others.
