A friend’s brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and five weeks later was dead.
Tale of two friends: One took every treatment available and lived with it for almost six years. He continued to be active and played golf regularly for much of that time, even though the treatments themselves were temporarily debilitating. He was a shell of himself the last two years.
The other friend studied the options and took no treatments at all. She was a bright experienced mechanical engineer. She traveled to many places around the West and to Europe with her grown family. Finally the cancer caught up with her and she died in a few weeks. She had a wonderful final year.
There’s no right answer.
My aunt lasted about 6 months. First case of any cancer in my family from either side.
