I never knew there was a “less virulent” form of it. My dad had a ‘wafer thin, dime sized’ one removed from his pancreas and died within two years. I remember him jogging around the circle in front of their home....trying to get his strength back.

He had observed all good eating habits and was very active. Remember “Michael ?” from Little House On The Prairie? He only lasted a few months.

I’ve often wondered if Ginsburg, liberal as she is, has stayed in her position because of Obama. Some liberals surely must see ‘what’ he is.

Yes, there are two main types. Jobs and Ginsburg had the less agressive sort, which constitutes less than 5% of all cases. If you have it, your chances of surviving five years are anywhere from 50% to 80%. Jobs would probably be alive now if he hadn’t fallen for all that “nutritional” and “holistic” nonsense.

But the other kind of pancreatic cancer, which afflicted my cousin and one of my friends, is lethal in 95% of the cases. And it’s often VERY quick. For example, my friend died less than three weeks after initial diagnosis.
