Just saw this a few minutes ago on the 4:00 a.m. news. A lot of factors involved, like how early the cancer is detected and the health/age of the individual, but the best-case scenario right now is evidently that a little under 10% of early-diagnosis pancreatic cancer cases become disease free after treatment. For people who are diagnosed before the tumor grows much or spreads, the overall average survival time is 3 to 3.5 years. The American Cancer Society says that the 5-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 12% for all stages combined.

One can only wonder how this might affect the November election. She's already in--as always--as the democratic candidate. But what happens if her cancer and symptoms and absence from congress become really obvious by November?
