Cancer is evil.  I pray one day they will find a cure.  So much suffering for those with cancer and their loved ones.  I watched it suck the life out of someone who was so passionate about the world and people and life.

HI Brenda, im so sorry to hear of your loss, my thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. I new to this so please forgive me if things dont come out right. I lost my aunt nearly 3yrs ago now to bowel cancer, then 2yrs ago lost a dear friend to cancer & have since just found out that my uncle has lung cancer, am finding things so hard to take in as life feels so cruel to my uncle, my aunt(his wife had breast cancer 12yrs ago & luckily beat it but then cancer took hiold of her bowels then sadly took her on my mums(her sisters birthday) in 2009 & now he has been diaganosed with lung cancer

Sad to report that pancreatic cancer claimed my brother in law's life early this morning.  Over the last 2 years he has cared for my mother in law.  She has Alzheimer and is 90 years old. Roger, my brother in law worked with mom to get her muscles toned and made sure she drank enough etc so that today she is in far better condition than 2 years ago when my father in law passed away.  They were in assisted living - which now I feel was no assistance at all.  Roger was a wonderful son and a good man . . .  His last words to me by phone were, "I love you too."  Our hearts are broken. . .

Mark- my mom passed away in July also to Pancreatic Cancer. before she had it she was a vibrant well woman. this horrible disease invaded her body. she had it for 8 1/2 months . when we all found out it was too late there was nothing we or she could do. so for these 81/2 months she suffered and tried to pretend that things will be alright. there is no early detection like you said, which stinks. she was taken from us for no reason at all. I miss her each and every day. I am also sorry for your loss,Jayne

Anna.....Iunderstand completely....my husband was also capable of going and going even in pain...the sad thing is he did go through treatment and it took 3 1/2 years of his life in agony before he finally passed... the mental and physical torment he experienced still sticks in my mind after 18 months....I wish we didn't know...I now wish he would have just lived his life until the end ...the treatment caused a secondary cancer...went from lung to breaking all of his ribs and parts of his spine...why treatment...it made matters worse...I am grateful that he is out of pain and in peace...not grateful for me of course..I miss him everyday...but know that he is no longer in pain....Peace

I'm blown away at how many have lost loved ones to pancreatic cancer.  Something has to be done to battle this.  With mom it was impossible to detect early on even with what we would learn later were early signs.  We were given all clear test results multiple times.  By the time they'd finally detected it, the alternatives to fight were limited down to one very long invasive radical surgical procedure ( the whipple ) with no guarantee and the risk of harsh complications.  Chemo with this cancer is considered palliative as it won't kill it.  Research is limited because of the ongoing mortality rate.  They've got to create an early viable detection test.  Although they had initially believed it was only located on the tail of the pancreas as soon as they opened her up they quickly found it had already spread to blood vessels that make the extraction useless because they can't cut into where it's spread knowing the patient will bleed to death.  It's a vile form of cancer.  All cancer is vile but this one is a monster.  My mom had fought her whole life with many other complications but it was this disease that took that away from her.  She didn't know how to deal with that thought process.  It was heartbreaking.
