We had one with lymphoma in the pancreas and one with carcinoma in the pancreas.
Both presented acutely and almost died the first day of their symptoms. Just wham!
The one with lymphoma rapidly also had her nodes blow up, making diagnosis easier.
The one with carcinoma needed an ultrasound guided needle biopsy of her spleen where
the carcinoma also turned out to be residing. Her blood work indicated additional
compromised organs.
Fritter, who had lymphoma there got 9 months with treatment. Ashling, who had
carcinoma there got 3 months. Both were considered lucky to get what they did. Both also
required constant access to dietary sugars as well as their meds to keep them most stable.
