Pancreatic cancer is a very difficult disease to diagnose, and its symptoms easily go unnoticed. Dr. Manny talks about this deadly disease in light of the news that "Dirty Dancing" star Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with this form of cancer.

  • My father died at the age 24 from this disease and it scares me to no end.

  • @johnnyharpe

    Actually, Swayze was a lifelong smoker who 'cut-down', but didn't quite quit, even after his diagnosis. He also partially blames his smoking habit for the disease. I'm a fan, BTW....not slamming him....but that is a risk factor.

  • My boyfriend has stage 4b PC. and he is not getting morphine, radiation, nor chemo. However he is using Percocet every 4-5 hrs. He is currently experience moments of delirium where he thinks and behaves as if he was in a difference place and time. He claims that his thoughts wonder off and he speaks out whatever he is thinking about. He realizes what is happening but doesn't know if it's the pain killers or the cancer itself that is causing this. Would you know the answer to this?

  • @Dessan01 splenic flexture syndrome?

  • Benjamin Orr bass player from the cars died from this!!

  • They just released a promising new blood test for this. It's still in early stages, but gives hope for early detection.

  • If Patrick Swayze was a lifelong dancer and in good shape and didn't smoke, I guess that doesn't protect you.
