I don't know, a guy I have know for years died of it yesterday. They were performing an operation on his stomach and when they opened him up he was full of cancer including in his pancreas. They kept him in a coma and he never came out of it, at least he went peacefully.

Thought this might help you to understand it a little better.... Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms Many times there is a delay in diagnosing pancreatic cancer because the symptoms are also associated with many other illnesses. The symptoms experienced do not specify or exactly indicate the disease. Soem doctors may feel the symptoms are caused by other illnesses. It is known that at least 50% of pancreatic cancer patients experience jaundice, a yellowing of the skin. Pancreatic cancer symptoms also experienced include: * Weight loss * Glucose intolerance * Fatigue * Abdominal discomfort or pain When the pancreas produce too much insulin, other symptoms such as chills, diarrhea, general feeling of weakness, and muscle spasms may be experienced. Keep in mind that these pancreatic cancer symptoms are also specific to many other illnesses. Please see a physician if you are experiencing anything abnormal for you, mentally or physically. http://cancer.about.com/od/pancreaticcancer/a/pancreaticsympt.htm
