Survival rates for pancreatic cancer not good
According to the American Cancer Society, for all stages of pancreatic cancer combined, the one-year relative survival rate is 20%, and the five-year rate is 7%. These low survival rates are attributable to the fact that fewer than 20% of patients’ tumors are confined to the pancreas at the time of diagnosis; in most cases, the malignancy has already progressed to the point where surgical removal is impossible.
I would imagine that when you factor in an age of 86 these numbers don't improve.

I hope no one cheers her death
Seriously
I've always heard pancreatic is the worst
Its what took down Patrick Swayzee -
I wish RBG a painless and enjoyable remainder of her life, regardless of how brief it may be.

RBG has been propped up like Weekend At Bernie’s for months now. From a professional standpoint she should have resigned/retired so a replacement could be appointed by the supposed authoritarian dictator/fascist President.
What’s that you say??? Appointing Supreme Court Justices is a designated duty of the President of the United States and has been since damned near day one??? You don’t say...
But wishing or cheering death ain’t cool. Barbara Bush, Koch brother, Bill Clinton’s pimp Epstein. Not cool at all.

The politics is to keep her alive long enough to get to 2020 so THE GARLAND REVENGE can be wrought
Ultimately won't matter because Trump is going to win anyway and appoint her replacement -
RBG is a power crazed zealot. She should have retired gracefully in 2014 and barry could have replaced her with a much younger progressive anti-constitutional zealot. But alas, she didn't.

In defense of RBG, wood smash Felicity Jones. Young RBG, not so much.

Both my parents died from Pancreatic cancer. If the tumor is in the tail you have a chance, in the head you're fucked. Age 86 probably doesn't matter.
