    1) They caught this one unusally earlier, so RBG's chances are higher.

    2) There are two kinds of pancreatic cancer. 95% give you the Big Adios, 5% are survivable with the whipple procedure (which is what Steve Jobs lucked – or "lucked" – into).

    Anyway, best of luck RBG. And fuck cancer.

    I've got some new anti-pancreatic cancer drugs in the lab. I think I might just go ahead and mail them to RBG. With a note that says 'This is not anthrax.'

    Yeah. Bad news. What makes it not terrible news? That this didn't happen a few years ago.
