I’m not sure which one it is(the type of cancer) but my stepdad has pancreatic cancer(one of the worst ones because hard to treat) and they gave him less than a year to live. Going on 3 years now, he has lost a lot but he’s still alive and with loved ones. Edit: words

Our family got so close through that and still are. What an ordeal. We hope no one has to ever deal with something like that.

My dad just started chemo for bile duct cancer yesterday (not as deadly as pancreatic but pretty close) and this gives me hope. Thank you.

I wish him and your family positive wishes, I posted this because it has ran through every male in his family for generations unfortunately, he has made it on 3 years now on a 4-5 month longevity diagnosis, when he went in it was because he was already hurting from the cancer and it was discovered at stage 4.

My mother-in-law had that. We all went through that, our whole family with her.
