Hello,
My stepfather died from PC due to a misdiagnosis the MRI never detected . We knew something was wrong when his legs would start giving out mowing the lawn, also he would complain of HIGH back pain. they were operating on him for leg arteries when they found something that led to a biopsy of the pancreas. He died 6 days later never leaving the hospital. Also had a friend who served in Viet Nam and by the time the VA found it it was too late, he also complained of leg pain and pain HIGH in his back. Its hard to find this early in its stages, but if caught early recovery rates are good. Finding a good doctor is imperative in this situation. Good Luck
