Formerly a rare cancer it seems to be burgeoning.
I have 2 neighbors within a half mile, a good friend and two inlaws who have/ had pc in past 2 years 4 have passed.
Odd to know of so many. That doesn't count my work acquaintances.
I am not interested in talking about the vaxxes. Just in the incidence of pc. We are far enough flung that it might be interesting.
Your experience?
Anyone else?
I feel like I’ve seen increases in breast and lung cancer but I am not aware of an increase in pancreatic.
Just two weeks ago my best friend’s niece died of breast cancer at the age of 32.
I remember when she was a little girl.
She had the vax.
Well, okay, just ignore it and it will go away.
One of my coworkers died of it a couple of years ago.
That’s the first time I ever knew anyone personally.
I think my “cancer list” is up to a dozen or more, with about half being terminal (dead already or dying). Some ‘rare’ cancers, too (such as anaplastic thyroid cancer - given 5 months or so). There is even a 10 month infant with cancer (type unknown to me) - no treatments working, doctors “baffled”. The most recent death just this week had metastasized pancreatic cancer.
The answer is yes and it started long before COVID:
Study Confirms Pancreatic Cancer Rates Rising Faster in ...
In this study, investigators combed through data on patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer between 2001 and 2018 from the National Program of Cancer Registries (NCPR) database, which represents approximately 64.5% of the U.S. population. Investigators found that rates of pancreatic cancer increased among both women and men.

A man I knew was diagnosed with it and six weeks later he was dead.
Maybe with they are catching it earlier now?
I know they have started to send people for ultra sounds more often than they used to do.
A 78 year old cousin was diagnosed with it last week. My mother had a colon cancer tumor removed in April. Cancer was found in 9 of 16 lymph nodes
This data doesn’t include the last couple of years. I guess I knew it was deadly, but I had no idea it was so widespread:

I have noticed that, yes. And wondering why.
My wife’s sister died of it a couple months ago. From discovering it at stage 4 to passing was 6 weeks.
Pancreatic cancer is the 6th most common cancer. Early diagnosis is the key to survival. When Ruth Bader Ginsberg was being treated for one type of cancer, a CT scan revealed she had pancreatic cancer, too.
Some pancreatic cancers are so advanced that when surgery is started, a cancer surgeon will occasionally just close up the incision because there is nothing that will help. The surgeon has the unpleasant task of telling the family to start making final arrangements.
Not uncommon for late stage 4 pancreatic cancer patients to die within a few weeks to a few months.
I had a close friend taken by PC 6 years ago. It was very aggressive. At least it was (relatively) quick, but he endured a couple months of hell. F^%& Cancer.
I have not heard of any recently.

My sister’s 37 year old son died of cancer earlier this year.
There is no cancer in our family or her husband’s family.
Luckily, he was fully vaccinated.
Neighbor, sister-in-law both proud to have been vaxxed. Now, both have what they call turbo-cancers, because they advance and spread so quickly. It’s sad.
Pancreatic cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths; about 60,000 per year.
You can find lots of information about pancreatic cancer at
https://www.mdanderson.org/cancer-types/pancreatic-cancer.html
If you have cancer, MD Anderson is just about the best for all types of cancer. There are a few other cancer centers that are also good-to-great depending on your type of cancer.
I know that it won’t help the dead and dying, but the people who created this crap should be hanged! And, the hangings should be televised ‘round the world!
