... Julius Carry, III has passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 56.

Who?

I know him best as "Lord Bowler," from the series, "The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr."

You might know him as "Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem" from the movie, "The Last Dragon."

That's three black performers taken before their time in the last couple of weeks. I hope this ends our long national nightmare.

pretty much a death sentence when you hear that diagnosis. About 96% chance you will die within months.

One of my father's co-workers died from it a few years ago.

Let's bring this thread back to happy:

Here is a guy who has (so far) survived pancreatic cancer - finisher of the original Ironman race in 1978, Henry Forrest.
Yes, I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer on August 1st of 2007. I’m doing very well – recuperating from major surgery (Whipple) in April and working on regaining the 60 pounds I lost following the surgery. I’ve gained about 20 back and am now trying to build up my strength and stamina. I underwent 5 months of weekly chemo and 5 weeks of daily radiation treatments, followed by the surgery. The surgery took a lot out of me – both literally and physically – but, I went back to work this week (8/4). Pancreatic cancer has a very low survival rate, but I’m really a walking miracle because in spite of CTs and biopsies confirming the Pancreatic Cancer, and in spite of the fact the location and growth of the tumors (2) was tracked and noted by at least 6 surgical oncologists, there was “no evidence of tumors” when the surgeon opened me up. He opted to proceed with the Whipple as a precaution because if even one malignant cell was left behind, there would be a recurrence. The surgery is tough, but just the fact I’m still living has beaten the predicted odds. Every chance I get, I encourage support for pancreatic cancer research in the hopes of finding a cure for this dreaded disease. The support I have received from family, friends, co-workers and the triathlon community has been incredible, and it made an enormous difference throughout my treatments and recovery from surgery.
That guy is hardcore, even if he is a Dawg fan.

My grandma passed away from pancreatic cancer a few years ago. By the time you realize you have it, it's too late.
