First Lemmy Kilmister, then David Bowie, then Alen Rickman, then Rene Angelil. All from cancer.

I thought I was okay; then I read Sean Biggerstaff's  (Oliver Wood in Harry Potter) post about Alan, and now I'm teary again.

To be fair, we have now hit that age where the older people in our lives start dying. These guys were young, yes, but look at how old a lot of our beloved icons are. We're definitely going to start seeing a lot of sad headlines.

Why, God, couldn't you have taken Daniel Radcliff instead????

Or Kanye West.

Large Image, sorry. There are also lilies in those bouquets which is super cute.

It's very moving to listen to.

Large-ish image. A single lily was found today, left outside Snape's Potions Classroom at Universal Orlando HP World.

Warmer than you'd expect from the perception you build based on him playing villains. Quite funny and gossipy.

I hope he was like his character "the voice of God" from dogma.

He died of pancreatic cancer

He died of pancreatic cancer

 

Oh wow... I guess if he had an issue far earlier in life and had it removed he'd probably not have passed so early =\?

Do you mean removing the pancreas? That's not possible, my teacher told us several times the pancreas is very important and you can't live without it.

edit: or you probably meant only the cancer in the pancreas, but idk if that's effective.. I think most people die from it

I always thought you could... I mean my dads pancreas burst inside him and he is just fine after they removed it.. 1 of my cousins had his out due to chronic inflammation but he has to take insulin injections.

What??? Wtf is wrong with that teacher, she said it like 5 times seriously.

Then I feel even more sad, he could have survived

Well It was just a question because of the people I know who've had theirs removed due to issues... Like.. If he had pancreatic cancer, would he have been fine now if he had his taken out earlier on? I doubt having it removed whilst cancerous would have done anything though but I can't find info on how long he had known, etc. 

[Susie]

I'd really like to think that he had the best possible medical care.

 

I told myself no more tears. I cried so much yesterday.

If the cancer didn't spread I think that could have been possible.. but I'm not a doctor. I read somewhere he knew it since august, but some other sources tell he knew it just before christmas so I have no idea.

I'm sure he had.

Me too.

[Salade]

I still find it hard to believe that he's actually gone. But that's always the case with celebrities, they just seem so invincible and idk.

No. Pancreatic cancer is essentially a death sentence. There are no early symptoms, and it spreads too quick. Treatment tends to only add about a year to someone's life.

Do you mean his appendix....?

Well, it wouldn't essentially have been if he had issues earlier in life? Or is pancreatic such a silent kind of cancer that it could be present from birth? Or am I just too confused xD?

No... I mean pancreas. My dad has his out due to bursting from a footy tackle and he has very little problem. Though he did originally have to have insulin but for 20 years or more now he's has no need.

What do you mean with issues? Cancer or something else? If the cancer wasn't there yet and he got his pancreas removed for other reasons then he'd still be alive yes. And you can't have cancer since birth and live for 50 years with it without doing anything against it. You can have something in your genes though that causes a higher chance to get cancer. (Like breast cancer). But that's not really relevant in his case I think. You're just a bit confused . The thing is if the cancer is still in a first stage it's small and didnt spread to other organs so easier to remove, but since this cancer is so destroy..able(lol thats no word I know) and causes not a lot (or none) of symptoms he did not know it in the first stage, so when he discovered it it was probably already too late.
If they would have discovered it since the very beginning he'd still live and probably heal from it, but because it doesnt cause symptoms since the beginning it's not likely.
I don't know if this is somewhat understandable but I blame it on my English

No, 99% well done with the english haha.. I think the word would probably be "destructive"?

But I think I get it a bit more, and by issues I mean bad inflammation or something... lol so yeah, too bad he didn't have a problem with it when he was far younger.. At least he lived an absolutely amazing life which i'll always remember until I end up going cenile

No. The early symptoms are silent. Screening is ineffective. It's usually not diagnosed until late stage.

[Kaddict]

The way the pancreas is makes it really really easy for exocrine tumors to metastasize. That is why even when diagnosed really, really early, 5 year survival is only like 15% or something. There are other types that are less "bad" as far as mortality goes. But simply stated, pancreatic cancer sucks. =/
