It amazes me that, with all of the advancements in medical technology, testing, etc., that they cannot come up with a method to detect pancreatic cancer before it is too late.
There are methods to detect it. But if you aren't feeling bad do you go to doctor an say run me thorough a PET scan or an MRI just for giggles?

Yep, it's deadly because it offers no symptoms until you basically hit stage 4. By then you likely have pretty bad liver cancer to go along with it and that's how you figured it out.
Locally we have a creek that was polluted with Manhattan Project waste back in the 70's. Friend of mine grew up next to the creek and of the 7 people in their house, 5 have had cancers. One told me he basically just waits for the diagnosis.
