    My mother died of pancreatic cancer 9 years ago. She hung on for 18 months but it was not good.
    I always thought that if I got a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, I would just put my affairs in order and go straight into ho e for the good drugs. With a type so lethal, all you do with chemo/rad is make yourself feel much worse. Not sure a few extra months of misery is worth it. Sorry about your mom.

    pancreatic and brain cancer are gameover, 90%+ mortality at 5 years, although the docs will exploit your insurance company or taxpayers for a few $100K, knowing better than anybody that there's no hope.

    Damn, that's horrible. A great teacher here died of pancreatic cancer a few years back. As others have said it's a diagnosis you never want to hear. Early detection is so important in beating cancer no matter what the type and as a few here have noted it's all but impossible right now to catch this early.

    Willard had become one of the league's best officials in the last few years and always struck me as a credit to a much maligned profession. He didn't have the flamboyance of many of his peers; he was just a guy who steadily improved his craft and left as one of the elite of the elite.

    Cancer sucks.

    My condolences to Mr. Willard's family and friends. Pancreatic cancer is almost a virtual death nail everytime.
