My husband was just diagnosed. The outlook is grim but not everybody dies. If you visit web site you will get very discouraged when you need to be hopeful. All his cancer was removed via a Whipple including lymph nodes. There is an 80% return rate but SOMEBODY makes up that other 20%. Why not him? Only 10% live for 5 years but again why won't he be in that 10%. While I know the odds aren't good without hope there is no reason to get up in the morning. Avoid toxic people. Stay around others who want to share hope.
