52. My dad had just been given a clean bill of health from his yearly
physical when a few weeks later he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. He worked two more months and died two months after that.

What is so sad to me about your story is that we had a wonderful DUer who fought so hard for verifiable voting who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. So many of us donated money so that Andy could have the funds to get the whipple procedure at Johns Hopkins. Then some evil people intervened and said that it was all a scam and Andy's procedure was postponed until all could be sorted out. I am sure that this put an unneeded extra stress on him. In the end, he died. Andy Stephenson died became of the greed of the insurance industry and I want them OUT of health care in this country. For Andy and for so many more who suffered needlessly to piggishly enrich a few! I want what every other first world country has!
