We lost my brother in law on September 7, 2007 to pancreatic cancer.

Also, anyone familiar with the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" - Marvin Zindler who was a local news celebrity for many decades in Houston and he is the one who broke that story ... he died from pancreatic cancer on July 29, 2007. I can still hear him in my head, "Marvin Zindler, Eyewitness News!" He was a legend in Houston television news.

He and my brother in law were diagnosed within days of one another.

Pancreatic cancer is terrible. Patrick and his family have been in my thoughts since the news came out a while back. I will keep them there.
