My mother died of this terrible disease in 1981. So little progress has been made, it’s shameful. Thank you for this video! It’s long overdue. My mother lived 18 months, but did not get a correct diagnosis until 3 months before she died. We were devastated. 😢

I am so truly sorry for the loss of your Mother to this disease💝~My BF's Mom was told for over a year that she only had "Heartburn", while all along it was this very difficult to treat cancer. 3 weeks after that news, she quietly passed🌠...

It’s shameful that no progress has been made? Cancer is an extremely insidious disease that is genetically different in each individual and different within the an individual over time. The best doctors, scientists and billions of dollars from donors all over the world and from every social economic strata have gone into research to find a cure. These men and women working on the front lines of this disease are heros, not shameful.

my mother had multiple sclerosis for 18 years. and some how she got pancreatic cancer and by the time we found out.....she was gone within less then a week....at home...with her family but it was horrible for us to lose her so quick. the doctors kept saying we don't know how she's still alive. my mom said she would pass when she was ready...not when she was told. and she did just that. stayed true to her word and her vow until she was ready. we have no cancer in our family. yet when she got sick, she ordered those frozen meals bc she said she enjoyed them and preferred it. I don't know, but my belief is the food in America, hurts us. not helps us. xox

👍I just want to say thank you to these men for stepping up to talk about Pancreatic Cancer! It's extremely important to make people aware of it! My first awareness of Pancreatic Cancer was Patrick Swayze, Actor, Dancer, Singer , etc. He died in 2009! Two outstanding movies that come to mind are: Dirty Dancing and Ghost. The Pancreas is one of the major control centers of the body. The survival rate is not good, 9.8% for 5 years. Awareness is a huge part of survival!

my beautiful mum died from pancreatic cancer it took 5 weeks and the experience and finally her last night and hours were the most traumatic of my life. it is absolutely essential that awareness is spread, funds made and research, far more research can be made into improving these shocking figures. but they're not figures, they are someone's mum, dad, husband wife, uncle, grandma, grandad and their lives are being stolen from them and leave those left behind to open with their grief and trauma and a need to spread awareness in memory of their loved ones.

Our body is a very complicated machine. My experiences, as a very old man, tell me we do some very wrong things to our health on our path to old age which distorts our auto-mode which most enjoy as children. It all seems to stem around our lymph flow. It is critical to good health. Lymph fails to reach critical areas in the body...as a result our spine twists slightly and this puts abnormal strains and stresses on many organs, including the pancreas. The path which I'm exploring, which is serving me best, is following the accurate teaching of Jesus Christ.

@@guruprasad7184 For patients that present with severe illness and have ignored all previous symptoms (waited until they were so debilitated with pain, nausea, jaundice, swelling of the abdominal area and have a family history of pancreatic cancer, plus have a history of alcohol abuse and/or tobacco . These are typical candidates for palliative care (immediate hospice referral) because they ignored the body warning ⚠️signs that tell you Get To A Doctor NOW! Some fear medical care, others think they must pay and they are flat broke! The government will treat you the same way a millionaire is treated! It's all free! It's like letting your house burn down before you get off your ass and DO SOMETHING! Advances in medicine are truly astonishing ! moving at the speed of a bullet! But Pancreatic Cancer so often exhibits NO warning signs! and by the time you start dropping weight and feeling like crap... it's too late. i'm very rare occasion when during a routine annual check up the doctor check your abdomen for any signs of abnormalities and when he is pushing around your pancreas you come up off the floor like a Jack-in-the-Box due to the pain. At that point he will do a total work up including CT scan, blood work, ultrasound, x-rays, he might even do a biopsy using a thin needle and deadening the area with lidocaine and Eppineneffrin . you won't feel anything until the next day and it will be sore in that area but once he gets a tiny sample he can send it directly to pathology and get a positive determination normally within one hour. I don't mean to take up away from anyone but I have been in medicine for 60 years and I never can't decode any bad news. It is just simply a sneaky and often fatal disease. I knew of a Doctor Who passed away 21 days post prognosis. That is really fast I just don't know what to say to you if you are in the hands of a good doctor he will or she will dedicate all of their years of training to getting the best outlook for you. I am assuming you i've already had a diagnosis and a prognosis but so much depends on what your doctor knows about your case. Like I say the pancreas is the one organ that hides and shield cancer to the point that it's not detected until it's really late in the game. best of luck to you. go to www.webmd.com that's web md . com
