I am aware of the study. In the 70s when I was in training I was given a pc patient because it was so rare and the ptb thought that I would provide the level of work needed. It was a reward.
Now they have increased to6th or 8th in incidence.
I would be interested in talking about the garbage frankenfoods that make up the American diet.
Fifty years from now, historians and scientists are going to look back on this period (that began in the mid 1990s) as how Americans poisoned themselves with the food they ate, --much as we look back on ancient Romans for drinking out of lead cups.
Only, the Romans didn't know any better.
There are no signs in most pancreatic cancers until they are at stage 3 or 4. My brother made it about 80 days.
So far just constant chronic pancreatitis. 85 lbs. My mother died of pancreatic cancer.
Are you retired military?
Not that alcohol is the only thing. I know someone who has essentially never had more then a sip of communion wine and he had several bouts of pancreatitis. The doc came in and told him to cut back on the drinking only to be told that he did not drink. Doc looked confused and said, “well, the next thing would be “lose weight” but your BMI is 21, you don’t have gall stones or diabetes. I don’t know what to tell you.”
Pancreatic, breast and lung. Yup.
American Cancer Society predicts about 51,750 deaths from PC in 2024. Equal among men and women.
Here’s a whole bunch of statistics and risk factors. It effects blacks more than whites by a small margin. And, of course, smokers, diabetics, those that are overweight, heavy drinkers are more prone to PC.

Lost my Step-Dad to it, and my favorite Uncle - they were not blood relations but they both drank more than your average person.
Dad died from Salivary Gland Cancer. After diagnosis they gave him a 2 year window, and by golly, he nearly made it! Died four years ago, yesterday. :( I’m sure he and Rush have already had some really good conversations. :)
A lot of odd/rare cancers in ‘boomer’ age group - radioactive fallout from atmospheric testing in 50s is definitely on-the-table as potential long-term risk factor.
Of course. Your thread.
Yup, my dad. Stomach pain mid January 2022, Diagnosed Stage IV Feb 2022, Died 1st week of April 2022.
He either had a bad reaction to the first chemo treatment and/or a side effect of the cancer with an abdominal bleed that led to a stroke. So its hard to say if it was the cancer or the treatment that accelerated his death. Definitely turbo cancer though, his symptoms were accelerating by the day before the chemo started. Healthcare and his doctors sucked and I didn’t think my opinion of the medical industry in this country could get any lower.
With an aging population there will be more cancers.
But a surge in unusual cancers in younger people means “something” has happened.
“Fifty years from now, historians and scientists are going to look back on this period”
If they are corrupted and dishonest like today’s historians and scientists, they will say whatever the establishment tells them.
6300 deaths per million
Out of my 5
The 5 year survivor was 77
The 18 month survivor was 50
The 1 month survivor was 66
The 2 week survivor was 73
And the currently 10 month survivor so far is 70
No jab here, but certainly exposed to the virus 3-4 times. Likewise for a friend of mine.
Ironically - given that we don’t stay in touch well - I recently found out that we both experienced pancreatitis almost simultaneously (within mere months of each other).
Mine is recovering, but I know that risk factors follow pancreatitis.
As well, my friend was afflicted with numerous blood clots, for which he underwent many hours of surgery, and still recovering months later.
But directly to your question, not in my sphere.
Yeah, I can’t help but think all the metabolic syndrome cases are contributing to it; chronic stress on the pancreas from insulin resistance.
Even worse in the presence of smoking or drinking.
Two where I work. My standard question to all : were they vaxed? You can deny MNRA is dangerous, but you will never find the truth by discounting it is a huge possibility….and both died within 2 months of diagnosis.
I suggest you pull up the recent Filipino Congress meeting on MNRA vaxed- view the entire proceedings- an uptick ( 300,000 deaths) in ALL rare cancers.
The CDC has investigated many times what appear to be cancer clusters, but they almost always turn out to be within the expected rates of cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, pancreatic cancer affects about 1 in 56 men and about 1 in 60 women. Roughly, this means that out of every 300 people, on average, around 5 will develop pancreatic cancer. While it is unusual for you to know five people who have developed it, since you probably know fewer than 300 people, it is not impossible. It’s all within random distribution.
