I hope that he doesn't have just five weeks to live.
So sad. I hate when anyone has to die but he is still really young.

I've taken care of professors, housewives, construction workers, dry cleaners and a couple rather famous musicians who died of pancreatic cancer. It's a horrible way to go. You can look fabulous one month and the next month you can be a skeleton with an IV attatched. The pancreas makes many enzymes-and they affect the whole body. Your pancreas makes insulintoo-and insulin is a messenger that brings energy to the cells. It also makes enzymes that digest food and break it down. Since its a gland, it communicates with other glands, and it can spread rapidly. It also sits right next to the liver. |

Some families tend to get more cancers in one type of organ than another. Diabetes, dietary fat, and things that are extremely irritating to the pancreas (ciggerettes, alcohol, chemicals-industrial chemicals!, raise the risk factors). Men get pancreatic cancer at a rate many times greater than females.
The same symptoms are that of gallstones. (fatty food intolerance, epigastric pain,etc)
I think it sucks that a tabloid outed Swayze and he did not have the choice of telling the public or not telling. My greatest sympathies.
Pancreatic cancer carries a one percent survival rate, it is the deadliest and fastest spreading cancer. Often even attempting surgery increases the rate of spread.
