My dad was just diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.

[No Vested Interest]

26. Hasn't Ruth Bader Ginsburg been treated rather successfully over the years for pancreatic cancer,

among other cancers?

I recall Sen. Jim Bunning of KY saying years ago that she would be gone within months, and, of course, she's still here and Jim Bunning has been gone for years.

That's really an aside, but my point is that Justice Ginsburg has had somewhat successful treatment. If I were in the same circumstances I would want as much information as available about her treatment. I imagine those physicians who work with pancreatic cancer would be aware of that. Not suggesting to go to her hospitals per se, but get knowledge of methods used and find out who uses similar treatment.

Poor Dad. As for his religiosity, as a fellow Catholic and near his age, make available to him all that brings him comfort re faith, so that he at least can come to peace in that area. Do not push hope of miracles, but pray with him as he wishes and see that he has access to the sacraments, especially the Eucharist and at some point, Confession/Penance, if he wishes. My faith gives me daily comfort as a senior who realizes that earthly life may come to an end quickly or not.

Peace be with you, and your Dad and all your family.
