Reply to comment by TEOsix in Engineers at Duke University have developed a novel delivery system for cancer treatment involving a radioactive implant demonstrating its potential against one of the disease’s most troublesome forms: pancreatic cancer. by chrisdh79

Fwiw, it saved my dad from pancreatic cancer. Yeah. He lived. Some shit went wrong though, and pancreatic stuff wreaked havoc on his intestines but he was fine in the end.

They are all scary levels of connected from what I have seen. You cannot take one parts out as they are all interconnected. Seems like your dad was very lucky.

Yeah. Then he died from mesothelioma 2 years after, completely unrelated to rhe pancreatic cancer. Cause fuck that guy in particular I guess :/

Sorry to hear that. My pops passed about 8 years ago. Cancer comes for a whole lot of people.

Yeah... This was only 2 months ago, so still pretty fresh in my mind. If nothing else, it'll be cancer, that's just inevitable I guess. But so unfair at 72. Like, he just retired and started getting to know his grand kids. Such a shitty hand to be dealt, but that's how it is sometimes I guess.
