Oh and the commentary that I heard on Fox, from their medical expert, was that this was a highly treatable form of pancreatic cancer, not that it was a "mild" form (that sounds like and early GMA or MSNBC comment). There is NO mild form of pancreatic cancer. I have been to several funerals of close friends who died from it, all within 6 months and all way ahead of their time. This is the most deadly cancer there is with a typical 5%, 5 year survival rate for the most common form. Evreyone I know personally died within 6 months or less of diagnosis and in excruciating pain. This is one cancer that the standard Fentanyl dose rate is 500 mcg (the patch is 4"x4") and there is NOTHING stronger than that... except general anesthesia.

And a side story about the so called macrobiotic diet - during the Vietnam war a friend of mine beat the draft by going on a macrobiotic diet - he was rejected by the draft board for being "excessively skinny".
