I'm at a loss as to why there is so little research. My father was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer earlier this year and sadly passed away 22 days after being diagnosed. I am just so angry that he suffered for so long and no one could tell him what was wrong and when they did finally diagnose him it was too late for any of us to prepare ourselves, the anger I carry towards the lack of research is unreal, it makes the grieving process that much harder. I miss him terribly.

Not what you're looking for?
