My good friends sisters husband died that same way, faster even. He worked for UPS and one day he was acting all confused and they found he had brain cancer and 2 weeks later he was dead, 2 freakin’ weeks from living a normal life to dead. Cancer is an absolute horror. When I lived in New York city my neighbor was gone in 2 months from aggressive lung cancer. Here we are in 2017, all this technology, all this DNA, gene tech and they’re still using 100 year old treatments to treat it: poison and radiation. I really do not know why they can’t engineer antibodies to take it out but that would cut into the multi-billion dollar profits wouldn’t it.

By George, you got it.
Pancreatic cancer also takes people very quickly. A neighbor we had years ago died in six weeks after her diagnosis and that was considered rather typical.
The saddest pancreatic cancer case I ever heard of was not about the actual victim but his wife:
In 1992, Gary and Amy Federici (she was 26 years old) married. They were, by all accounts, incredibly happy. A few weeks after the wedding, Gary discovered he had pancreatic cancer. Twelve weeks later he was dead.
Amy moved because she couldn’t bear to be in the house she shared with her late husband and started a new job working behind the scenes at MTV. A little more than a year after her husband’s death, she felt like she was beginning to live again.
On Dec. 7, 1993, Amy Federici was shot in the neck by the anti-white killer Colin Ferguson in the Long Island Rail Road Massacre. She died. She was literally a mile-and-a-half away from arriving at her home station. She was 27 years old.
The only silver lining was this: http://www.nytimes.com/1995/01/25/nyregion/death-that-gave-life-others-parents-lirr-shooting-victim-donated-her-organs.html?pagewanted=all
I never knew Amy Federici. I never met her. But 24 years after her murder I still think of her every now and then for some reason.
Jimmy Carter's recovery from Cancer makes me wonder if he got access to the "cure"?
Read years ago, probably easy enough to look up now, about the money that would be “lost” should a universal cure for cancer be found. Forgot the actual number. But it was a lot.
I did genealogical research in a small town in Kansas where my great-grandmother’s clan resided. My distant cousin lived there. Her husband had slipped on the ice and cracked a rib, helping someone who was stuck in the snow. Went in for X-rays and the doc said, “Your body is full of cancer. You have about 4 weeks.” “When would I have noticed any symptoms?” “In a couple of weeks.” He died in 4 weeks.
