Pancreatic cancer : What is the health isssue???
The pancreas is a vital organ that produces insulin. In the case of pancreatic cancer, insulin production ceases. Pancreatic cancer is nearly impossible to diagnose until it is in the very, very late stages because there are no symptoms until then. For the most part it is untreatable and inoperable. Generally speaking, a patient diagnosed with pancreatic cancer doesn't live a terribly long time after that, usually a few weeks to a couple of months at best. Stranger things have happened of course, and there are new treatments being introduced all the time, but as a rule, pancreatic cancer is a very serious diagnosis.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most painful cancers out there. Not only does it cause great pain, it also will eat away your body. I lost my mom to this horrible disease, but before it killed her, she lost both arms, then her legs, then her nose crumbled off her face, then it started wreaking havoc on her organs, breathing, liver quit functioning normally, kidneys, etc. To much suffering, that left us in bewilderment.
