Sad news for sure. My sister-in-law is struggling with the same disease. Prognosis not good despite the treatments. RBG is the exception to the rule; she's managed to fend off 3 cancers (including pancreatic cancer) and is still standing. Remarkable when you look at the stats.

Harry Reid was a bulldog during his tenure in the Senate. He'll be sorely missed.
