Quote from 1flyfisher:
pancreatic cancer has like the lowest survival rate of any of the various cancers as I understand it. Patrick Swayze is also battling the disease.
Quote from Illum:
I have a Grandfather who is still alive after being told he had 6 months to live.... 15 years ago.
How did he survive? An incredible will to change his diet. His disease was described to him as a stalling car. When the car rumbles, stalling, he becomes incredibly ill, if it rumbles and stalls out, as in the car needs to be restarted, he is dead. So he gets very ill from time to time; but has lived, as I said, 15 years with it.
The discipline of his diet is what has kept him going, I do not know about Swayze's discipline, but it is possible to continue on.
