Late stage pancreatic cancer. Not good.

Healthline says 2 to 6 months to survive. No cure.

That’s very sad. Trebek seems like a good dude.

What is pancreatic cancer, Alex.

Yeah, figure I saw has a 5-year survival rate of 3%. From what I remember from some of my classes, even that seemed generous.

All things terrible and sad for $200. On a side note...hasn’t RBG so far survived that same disease?

No.

He is 78 and has a 5% chance to survive to 83. I am 49 and would 100% take that opportunity.

You will feel quite differently when you are 82 1/2.

It seems RBG had early stage pancreatic cancer. Also the colon cancer. Tough bird!

Feb. 5, 2009 -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 75, had surgery today for what appears to be early-stage pancreatic cancer, according to a statement released by the U.S. Supreme Court.
