Not me, but my wife's aunt was diagnosed with it back in the 90s. At the time, it was a "make your peace" diagnosis, but she lived 10 years with it and died from something else.
Not many survive that. It’s devilish. My grandfather was toughest man I ever met, both mental and physically. It withered him to a sad shell.
God bless anyone with that diagnosis.

Just lost a friend and former co-worker to this awful disease. He was doing alright for a while, about 2 years, but took a bad turn 4-5 months ago and passed away last month. Five-year survival rate is something like 12%.
Lost my Dad to it…went quick. By the time there are symptoms, it’s too late for treatment most of the time. I think the 5 year survival rate is less than 20%
My cousin has it and my aunt died from it (his mother married to my uncle) but the problem it the inability to extract to tumor. My cousin is still alive a year later. I know a well know guy in jessamine co that died from it a few years ago in 6 weeks. It seems like they are a step away from beating this scourge but at the same time the rates are going up.
