My father-in-law died of pancreatic cancer three months after diagnosis.

It is a horrible disease, not least of which because it’s difficult to diagnose. By the time they get a clear bead on it, in many cases, it’s stage four and already ravaging your system.

I’m very sorry for you and your family’s loss. And I hope this drug makes it so a lot fewer people have to go through this in the future.

I'm very sorry for your sister's death. My friend's dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer out of the blue and died within 6 weeks. It terrifies the fuck out of me because there's nothing you can do to detect it or fight it. Hopefully this drug helps people get cured of it.

Sorry for your loss. My mémère passed recently from it. It's a terrible illness and I'm glad that others can have more time.

My mother died of it less than two weeks after the diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. On the other hand, I knew a guy at work who survived more than five years with it; this was so unusual there was an advocacy group that used him as a kind of poster child of hope. He looked just terrible though.
