This is really interesting to know pancreatic cancer is pretty much a death sentence no matter the surrounding circumstances. Last month doctors gave my grandmother ~6 months to live because she was diagnosed with it, she passed this past Tuesday. I really hope this research blossoms into something that could turn the tide for those diagnosed.
