How's the BYU Coach doing? Isn't he the one with the Liver or Pancreatic cancer? Been a few months since anyone has mentioned it and I know that type can move fast.

The type of cancer he had was not a typical pancreatic cancer (95% are adenocarcinoma which has a very poor prognosis), but one that has usually got a much better prognosis (he had a neuroendocrine cancer which has a good prognosis if caught early). He had it removed with emergency surgery, and he is in a complete remission.

He is doing very well. Here is the latest-

Man that's a great story, got some great docs there. I think he got pretty lucky that the symptoms came on very strong as I believe most prancreatic symptoms are prolonged over 1-2 weeks or longer. Sounds like he's in good shape now.
