About Pancreatic Cancer
PANCREATIC CANCER: THE FACTS ABOUT THE DEADLY DISEASE
The pancreas is a gland situated behind the stomach, where the ribs meet at the bottom of the breastbone
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of the disease.
Only
3 per cent of patients survive for five years, compared to 87 per cent
for breast cancer and 98 per cent for testicular cancer.
The
average survival time for untreated advanced pancreatic cancer is about
3.5 months; with good treatment this increases to around six months.
Men
tend to be diagnosed more than women, and the disease is more common in
people over 60, while rare in those under 40. Smokers and the
overweight are most at risk of the disease.
The pancreas is a gland situated behind the stomach, where the ribs meet at the bottom of the breastbone.
It produces digestive enzymes that help to break down food and a hormone known as insulin to control blood sugar levels.
When
pancreatic cancer is in its early stages it rarely has any symptoms.
This means most patients are not aware they are unwell until the
condition is advanced.
The symptoms are also similar to those of a variety of other conditions, so can be hard to diagnose.
The most common symptoms are:
- Pain in the upper abdomen which sometimes spreads to the back. It usually comes and goes at first but becomes constant as the cancer advances. The pain is often worse when eating or lying down.
- Unexplained weight loss.
- Jaundice - yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, dark yellow urine, pale stools and itchy skin.
- Diabetes - this causes excessive thirst, passing more urine than usual and weakness.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Fever and shivering.
Surgery
to remove the tumour is usually the only way to completely cure
pancreatic cancer, but this is a suitable treatment for only around 15
to 20 per cent of patients.

Alan Rickman Cancer Revealed
The day after his untimely death we now know what Alan suffered. I found an article in the Daily Mail which I will cut and paste highlights from below as they have no option to share to Blogger.
This is reportedly the last picture of Alan out in public from December 2015 in New York. As you can see he does not look sick and still smiling even though by this point he must have been feeling the effects of cancer. I was a home heath care worker and took care of cancer patients. He is a very strong and brave man.

Harry Potter star Alan Rickman, 69, 'suffered a slight stroke and then died after short battle with pancreatic cancer'
- Star reportedly died of pancreatic cancer after falling ill last year
- He is said to have suffered a stroke in August which led to diagnosis
- Rickman passed away aged 69 in a London hospital surrounded by familyAlan Rickman's death came after a short battle with pancreatic cancer, it was claimed today after the showbiz world paid emotional tribute to the much-loved actor.The star died yesterday at a London hospital, surrounded by friends and relatives including his wife Rima, after waging a secret fight with the illness.He apparently concealed his diagnosis from all but close confidants, and kept an upbeat demeanour even weeks before his death.It was reported today that Rickman had been suffering from pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of the disease.Respected US showbiz journalist Roger Friedman claimed that the star had a suspected stroke in August, which led to his cancer diagnosis.Writing on Showbiz 411, Mr Friedman said that Rickman told a select few friends about the disease during a visit to New York last month, when he was pictured at the musical Hamilton in what is the last known photograph of him.Rickman married his long-term partner Rima Horton in secret four years ago, nearly half a century after they had first met as teenagers.
One local
said: 'Whenever I saw him in the street I always thought he looked very
well. He was such a lovely man, I'm so sorry to hear about his death.'
Another
added: 'He always smiled and said hello when I saw him. I saw him
before Christmas and he looked normal. I had no idea about the cancer.'
Producer
Catherine Bailey, an old friend of Rickman's from drama school, said
that he had remained remarkably selfless even when he was just days from
death.
'I saw him two days before he died and he wanted to hear about me and my family and how we were,' she told the Guardian.
Rickman was
scheduled to give a talk at his old school, Latymer Upper in
Hammersmith, later this month - suggesting that he may not have known
how advanced his cancer was.
He
recently filmed The Limehouse Golem, a Gothic horror movie set in
Victorian London and shot on location in Manchester over the past few
months.
Two other films featuring Rickman, Eye in the Sky and Alice Through the Looking Glass, are scheduled to be released this year.
His
family said in a short statement yesterday: 'The actor and director
Alan Rickman has died from cancer at the age of 69. He was surrounded by
family and friends.'

Alan Rickman
January 14, 2016 I awoke thinking today was just going to be like any other day. I picked up my phone to scan through the BBC notifications I received overnight just like I do every morning. I saw Alan Rickman in one of the titles and thought oh cool whats he up to. When I opened the message I was immediately in shock and thought this has to be a hoax. I saw recent pictures and interviews of him and he looked fine. So I went on a frantic search and everyone confirmed, Alan had died that morning in hospital surrounded by family. I spent the entire day in disbelief, posting articles I found on my various social networks and trying all day not to cry. That may seem silly to some, but I have two all time favorite actors: Alan Rickman and Robert Carlyle and yesterday I found out Alan died.
He keep his cancer a secret, something I said I would do if I ever contracted the disease. It had to be hard for him not to tell the world he was sick. One clue should have been when he married his love of 50 years. Marriage was nothing more than a piece of paper to them. They never believed you needed to be married to be committed and share your life. Then in 2012 out of the blue and in secret they wed.
To me Alan was not only a great actor but a wonderful human being as well. I will never forget the time he invited everyone to his house for tea if they were ever in the area while he was on a talk show. May have been Letterman or Leno not sure though. Anyway my first thought was oh Alan what have you done! People will be clamoring to see you when they are in the London area. Of course my next thought was I hate tea but I will drink it if I can have it with Alan Rickman! From then on my goal was to get to England and take him up on that offer at some point in the future. I never imagined that future cut so short. Now I will never have tea with anyone ever. It's just that simple, there was only one man that could have gotten me to drink that and now he is gone and I truly am heartbroken.
I have many of Alan's movies and he will live on forever for us all though his great works of art. I know soon I will be having a Harry Potter marathon and enjoying the one character I loved from the moment he appeared on screen, Professor Snape. I want nothing more than to sit down and watch them now but it's too soon. I cried when Snape died while reading the books and I cried in front of a packed movie theater when he died on screen. That was just the character Alan played, now Alan himself is gone and to watch that series now would be done through tear filled eyes just as typing this up is now. It's just too soon. Rest assured I will be having that marathon in the near future.
For now Goodbye to one of the most unique voices, the brightest smiles, the most cheerful of attitudes, the largest of hearts and the greatest of men. Though I never met you personally I will miss you Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman.
