Pancratic cancer took my grandfather in 1982. I remember it like it was yesterday, him remarking of indigestion and stomach "fullness" It was the tumor pressing against other organs. Docs opened him up, closed him up and said he might last three months. He died two weeks later, at home, Friday August 13, 1982.

We had a young attorney client (mid 40's) who died of pancreatic cancer about 10 years ago. When he visited the office for the last time, about two weeks before his death, about all I could say was "Take care of yourself Jeff" Our eye contact said it all.
