" I saw this, too. The article I read said that he was receiving treatment - I wonder what kind??? I was surprised he was 55. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately??) this will bring more attention to this awful cancer.

" I saw this also. I hope it does bring more attention to this. There is not alot of hope for people you get this type of cancer.

I hope his was caught earlier than mine.
Any more publicity on pancreatic cancer would be helpful. "
