This is sad. Especially at Christmas.

Prayers to him and his family. Hopefully, he has peace in his final days.

This is sad… we need to figure out, as a country and society, what is causing metastatic cancers to skyrocket for young people more recently.

Health needs to be our priority, with the foods we eat and meds that we shouldn’t be taking. What’s in our food, air, water and medicines that is causing this? Something is off and this should be bipartisan. Let’s figure this out and fast.

That's how it was for my Grandfather 30 years ago.

The only thing that's somewhat comforting about it is that there's little pain. They mostly just sleep their final days away.

It can be beaten. My grandfather was diagnosed the same over 10 years ago and he's still going strong. Fenbendazole and ivermectin for the win. There's a reason those drugs have been made OTC now when just a few years ago doctors were disallowed for prescribing ivermectin off label to fight COVID.

That's incredibly sad. Sorry for his wife and little children. Would be hard to lose your daddy at that age. I pray for a miracle healing. At the least I hope that he knows the one who grants eternal life!

Sorry for your loss, man. Prayers for everyone whose life has been upended by cancer. I was there myself a couple years back. My wife with uterine cancer.

We are going to cure this shite. I believe they've already started paving the way.

Oooff. That’s tough.

Pancreatic cancer is an insidious disease.

Prayers for him and his family right now.

Poor guy and thoughts should be with him. I could be wrong, but I understand pancreatic cancer has advanced before it's diagnosed.

With pancreatic cancer its almost impossible to detect until its already spread, which is why its a death sentence cancer. By the time you know you have it, its too late to treat it.

Prayers to the Sasse family, its a nasty disease

My father had pancreatic cancer. It was very fast. He was diagnosed in February and passed July. I think about him every day. We listened to so many LSU games together on the radio when I was growing up.
