1. It’s either a miracle or the doctor was WAAAAAY off.

2. That’s pretty amazing. I remember when I was a kid we had a beloved assistant principal who passed from pancreatic cancer. It’s a bad one.

3. Rolled a Nat 20

4. Woah didn’t realize she’s married to quark

5. Twenty four other people that got the same diagnosis died.

6. Technically given enough time, all of us have 0% survival rate.

7. Odds are that almost anytime a patient hears that there is something very wrong with their pancreas, the prognosis is grim. Father, family friend, my and dentist all were diagnosed with pancreatitis caused by alcoholism and passed away within 6 months. Whether you want to call it luck, faith, or a helluva great doctor, don’t mess with your pancreas.

8. My mom had 4 months from diagnosis to death. It’s brutal

9. Lost my Mom to Pancreatic cancer. Glad to see someone kick its ass!

10. My father had a whipple bypass in 1996 and they told him he had a few years to live – he survived until 2020 and every doctor visit they told him how surprised they were he was still alive.

    I was like 7 when it happened so they never told me about his mortality until after he passed away.

11. This is astounding. I have already lost three people to pancreatic cancer. It is ruthless.

12. $1000 says she still dies sometime in the future

13. Not the first time Star Trek beats the odds.
    Considering how in every episode something immensely unlikely happens!

14. So she’s part of the 4%
