I just found out yesterday a union brother has Pancreatic cancer

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pancreatic-cancer/DS00357

He has 3 kids under the age of 17 at home. It doesn't look good. Even though I've only know him for about a year, he is a good friend.

1. So sad, I am sorry.
My Dad died when he was 52 of pancreatic cancer. I was 19. He was sick for 2 weeks then he was dead. Things are better now, treatment can extend one's life for longer periods of time.

4. Sorry to hear Steve.... perhaps some avenues that enhance
the innate immune response will someday be proven to help in this condition. My father passed from cancer but at the time the only treatments acceptable were both too toxic to believe, too toxic to endure.
