So sorry for your loss.

That is correct. He's once told me that it was found while being treated for an unrelated condition. Just lucky,,,,,, I guess.The guy who is still alive--they must have found it very early to enable them to do surgery. That would be my hope--some blood test or something to detect it early so that surgery could be done. For my friend who died last night--when she was diagnosed a month ago it was at stage 4, already spread to her liver so no surgery, no hope.
I have a friend like that with ovarian cancer. Surgeon went into remove fibroids and found ovarian cancer. It's been at least 40 years since then and she's doing fine. Another lucky one.That is correct. He's once told me that it was found while being treated for an unrelated condition. Just lucky,,,,,, I guess.
Just curious about what the additional fee for blood draw is if you don't mind my asking. My doctor's small clinic can do bloodwork but I have no idea what they would charge for a draw. Or I guess I could go with one of the contracted labs.Here's another blood test. Much cheaper. I do one every year.

I have a dear friend that had it discovered while checking something else recently so I am praying for the same good outcome as your roommate. He is doing chemo now and then the surgery.A cousin of mine went quickly too. But my old college roommate had his pc discovered when checking for something else. Had surgery and 5 years later is doing well. He’s extremely lucky.
I use a local place that just does blood draws and ships the samples. The test was about $240 and the blood draw and handling the shipping was $40Just curious about what the additional fee for blood draw is if you don't mind my asking.

Thanks for this, great news. The question will be who gets screened? Probably would not have helped my friend because she did not have any risk factors but this will be of help to her daughter and grandchildren since there is a genetic factor for pancreatic cancer.New Pancreatic Cancer Blood Test 97% Accurate -
