Cancer is a horrible way to die but pancreatic cancer is arguable the worst of the lot. Apparently the pain can be utterly unbearable without being doped up so much on painkillers that the patient barely knows where or who they are.
Condolenses to his family.
Indeed, but is there really a "good way" to die?
Reminds me of the following line attributed to either Bob Monkhouse or Will Rogers:
Lord allow me to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers in the bus he was driving.
Reminds me of the time a midget clairvoyant escaped from jail. The headlines said "Small Medium at Large".
You owe me a keyboard and a monitor cleaning.
