Patrick Swayze - Pancreatic Cancer battle

[Torontogal]

Hi everyone,
I was very sad to hear about Patrick Swayze's pancreatic cancer battle. For a while it seemed like he might pull through but things sound so bleak now - Stage 4 already and in his liver.

I know many of you have lost loved ones to this horrible disease. I lost my father almost 1 year ago to Stage 4 adenocarcinoma P.C which had already spread to his lungs and finally liver. This disease is devastating and usually very fast. By the time it is diagnosed - it is usually too late. My dad passed away only 1 month after diagnosis. He did not drink, smoke, was a vegetarian, meditated and never spent lots of time in the sun. It just does not make sense.
Prayers go out to disers who have loved ones battling this disease. I know there are a few out there.
If you need any information on Pancreatic Cancer - check out pancan.org
May a cure or proper screening for this disease be closer.

Hugs Torontogal.. those of us who watched the program with Patrick Swayze know the battle he is in once he said where his metasases were.. God bless him, I am still not sure how he did the series and took chemo.. absolute determination... God bless him... Hugs to you on your Dad.. I hear you... Pancan and Lustgarten are doing their utmost to get research done on this cancer, which I think is on a rise.. scary words I know.. but the truth nonetheless..
