Deep State message to Sanders... “Get Out.”

I don’t care for Bernie or anything he stands for. However..that’s a lot for a family to go through all at once.

Neuro psychologists are few and far between. You have to be very, very smart to become one of those.

46 is way too young. Cancer is horrible.

But Dartmouth Hitchcock is a wonderful hospital—my Dad went there for heart issues.

Prayers up for her family. Something is telling Bernie to slow down. It ain’t worth it.

It’s not your run of the mill pancreatic cancer. Her’s is a type that is manageable much better than the more common andecarcinoma. That is what Trebek has.

Think about it. This type of cancer runs cells through the entire endocrine system. A tumor could be undetected and sending little cancer bombs all over her body. By the time she was symptomatic, it is too late—the cancer is literally everywhere. And growing fast.

My wife has pancreatic cancer and it took a bunch of tests to pin it down. It was hiding out and not “presenting itself.”

It wasn’t until they were sending slices of the pancreas to the pathology lab that they actually found it. Modern Science is impressive...but it still has a way to go.

Not a bad idea, but sometimes this stuff sneaks up on you. When it’s a GI cancer, you are pretty sick before they even know where to look.

Could blood tests help pinpoint there is a cancer as an alert but just not tell you where it is?

or does it typically not show up in blood until too late
