    This is the post I didn't read. I notice that it is just long-winded poo flinging. And you say dang. I found that a bit funny.

    I didn't read it, but when I read it, you were mean and the language was odd?

    Pancreatic cancer is horrible. Bless her and her family.

    Indeed. And those who get it aren't usually around a year later. I had an friend/acquaintance get this; she was younger than me, late 40s at the time. She survived about a year, maybe a year and a half.

    And 86 years is longer than most people live, whatever ailment they might have (or not have).

    Frankly, even if she did not have a serious illness, there would/could be a question of lucidity.

    Here's a question: would you want a president, of whatever party, that was 86 years old?

    One of my best friends has pancreatic cancer. His father, my former boss, died from pancreatic cancer in 2002. Pancreatic cancer has very low odds for survival.

    I hope RBG beats the odds.

    Totally agree w' you on normal pancreatic cancer. By the time it shows symptoms, it is usually very advanced and usually fatal. Completely aside from politics, here's my guess on this case.

    Since she's had several bouts of cancer elsewhere, she probably gets frequent scans looking for spots. They may have found such a spot on her pancreas recently and just removed it way before it was showing symptoms. That's just a guess, but if she wasn't showing an symptoms of it yet, her prognosis may be better than most of those other cases.

    On her worst day, she is more lucid than our mistake-in-chief.

    Let's not forget that She already beat Pancreatic cancer before. I think it was back in 2009 or 2010. They caught it early that time before showed symptoms. So she's beaten Pan-can once before already.

    Yup, I didn’t come up with the poop flinging language. I shamelessly stole from Clutch
