      We’re making big progress in the different types of pancreatic cancer – we’ve just developed some special drugs that show it up in cell samples much earlier than it can be seen in patients with the same cancer. Progress is slow, but it is happening! The cure rates for many types of cancer have improved over the last 20 or so years.
