My maternal grandmother also died from pancreatic cancer. She always
had some sort of health issue, but always hung in there. She was
complaining about a lack of appetite, went into the doctor. He found the
cancer, and less than a month later, she was gone. I agree, it seems to
be a particularly aggressive cancer.
