I heard that he was sick, but I didn't know that it was that serious. Crazy. RIP.

Dudes... where have you been the past 8 years.
Pancreatic cancer.... NO ONE's ever escaped that. It was only a matter of time.

His riches had already kept him alive much longer than the average pancreatic cancer sufferer.
RIP Steve

Actually 5% is the 5 year survival rate (which Steve was well over) But even after the 5 years, you are really just biding your time. Unless you die of pneumonia or get hit by a bus or find that the cancer has spread elsewhere, it will come back. Maybe not for 3 or 4 years, maybe 10 but it will eventually come back.
Speaking of which, Dave, you better get off your butt (literally) and actually find a GP that you're comforable with. Stop doddling around. In case you forgot, you turned 40 this year. You've got a kid now too.
PSA & Colonoscopy, get on it.

whatever the case, pancreatic is a bad one to get. yes, worse than the other types of cancer.

A Zenith wearing Jack Bauer might be able to escape pancreatic cancer though. I give them a 50/50 chance.

I heard it takes over a year to get a colonoscopy appointment if you're considered "low risk".

i think if you're over 40, you might be in the higher risk category... but i'm just speculating

i thought after 30 you're supposed to get felt up by your doctor every couple years or something, then every year after 40. that's a lot of dates.
