Sad news. My uncle's next door neighbor, who I know fairly well, was also recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He has only a few months to live at the most. It's an extremely aggressive and fast-spreading cancer. By the time a doctor diagnoses it, it's often already too late to do anything about it. My uncle's neighbor was an otherwise healthy guy in his late 50s, and boom, this happens. I hate to say it, but given Alex is 78 and the cancer is stage 4, he's gonna be gone very soon.
