The thing is though Nikki, i doubt he even has the 2 years that he's said because it's a bad part that he has it inOriginally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR

There is no cure for pancreatic cancer. Frankly I'm surprised that he's lived this long after his diagnosis. Most people who a diagnosed with that die within a few months. The fact that he's made it a year means nothing. His case is still terminal and he will die from the cancer, and it isn't going to be measured by "years." I'm sorry to say but he probably won't live to see another New YearOriginally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR

He quit taking painkillers so he could stay sharp for his new show. What a guy!
Ooops- forgot to add this.Originally Posted by Sneakymom
I thought it was pancreatic cancer. My uncle died of that 2.5 years ago. When they found it- it had already spread and there wasn't much the doctors could do about it.
He does look like he's lost an awful lot of weight.
Did I mention I HATE CANCER! I've lost 2 immediate family members to it (dad and my uncle) and a friend of mine lost her mom to cancer 1.5 years ago.
