He got it for his 70th birthday, very much sucked. He's was in great shape for 70 though. Without treatment they gave him a year to year and half. He has now went through 2 rounds of Chemo. The cancer has shrunk over 50%. He didn't get sick at all during Chemo, witch was amazing, it actually made him hungry. He did get very tired and weak, walking through the house would tire him. His outlook is very good now. It'll never be cured, but hopefully he can live a lot longer.

Good luck with your cancer. Treatments get better and better. My Dad has stayed incredibly positive, I really think it has helped. I was maybe more upset than he was.
