There has been a lot of progress in treatment for various cancers; many more people survive now.
Yes, let’s be hopeful. Even about 12 percent of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survive more than five years. That is an improvement. since it wasn’t that long ago that it was 2%. Hopefully it is a less deadly form and was caught early. Sometimes chemotherapy is given to attempt to shrink a tumor to a more manageable size and then try again to remove it surgically. Prayers.
