“worse outcome” with pancreatic cancer seems like a relative thing. The odds are not in your favor no matter how you slice it.

They do cover other cancers briefly in the write up.

My wife is 4 years out from her diagnosis with PC.

Quite honestly, I am pretty sure she would be dead today if not for the lorazepam, LOL.

The factors for survival from PC are surgery, clean margins, no lymph nodes, chemo, and a low CA 19-9.

If you don’t have those things…your chances are pretty grim. I don’t think most of those folks are worried about how they deal with the anxiety.

True. Pancreatic cancer is almost always a death sentence.
