I was in a fugue state drawing this. If it is in any way upsetting, I will delete it.

    I had a very dear friend pass this year from Pancreatic cancer.

    The dogshit thing about Pancreatic cancer (aside from it being cancer) is you generally don’t feel unwell until you’re quite advanced with it / stage 4 (terminal). That is what happened in my friends case. They gave so much in their short life and had so much more to give.

    I’m sorry, I don’t think my comment was overtly substantial; I wanted to echo your point about how insidious cancer can be.

      I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. I have a close relative that was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer AND my friend’s dad was diagnosed too. They both slowly were losing weight and were forced into the doctor.

      Anyone reading if you’re losing weight and not doing anything different go to the doctor!
