My father has been in and out of the doctor’s office for the past two weeks for some issues, but never told my family minus my mom what it was. Today my sister, brother, and I find out he may have Pancreatic Cancer, and the survival rate it well below 5%. I’m at a total loss of words. It hasn’t relly sunk in yet I may loose someone close in my life. Has anyone ever gone through this? I don’t even know what the fuck to do/say. ---

I can tell you that my dad had cancer when I was in 7th grade. They told him he had 6 months to live and he is still with us now. We prayed a LOT and he was very positive. I would suggest the same and I will keep him in my prayers ---

wow. very sorry to hear. i lost an aunt to this a few months ago. it seems to be a very dangerous type of cancer, as it can spread from there very quickly. UPMC has an incredible pancreatic cancer research center… i dated a girl who works there. she only does paper work, but she was able to get my aunt in with the doctors there and fast track some of the paper work crap… when i get in to the office tomorrow. i will PM you her contact info. she may be able to help you out. it would atleast be worth a phone call. best of luck. ---

Sorry to hear this. Cancer is such a bitch. It took my Father 4.5 years ago. Good luck to your Father and let’s hope things work out ok. Keep the faith! [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-dad-may-have-pancreatic-cancer/196081.md?page=2)
