I think that there is no mild form of pancreatic cancer, which has the lowest survival rate of any. I also think that when doctors tell you there is nothing else that they can do, many, especially those who can afford it, start to try anything.

This man left before his time, no question in my mind or likely in his. With such a passion for life, and such a potential to bring so many new insights to the world that I can only imagine that his mind must have held - being driven the way that he was- I feel that he tried every logical and practical real world medicine means, did not abandon them, and in the end tried the unconventional - a hail Mary pass.

The man worked on logic. He likely knew anything would be along shot, AFTER his conventional treatments failed to restore him to health, but what they hey at that point� if you have the $ and the inclination. When my time comes I won't give my money to any charlatan out there, but some fringe therapy that has only worked in animals or whatever, bring it on, I've got nothing to lose.
