Oh man! I like Alex T. I only hope he listens to his MDs and doesn’t try some woo-woo alternative medicine crap like some others in the same condition.

With pancreatic cancer, I don’t think it really matters what he tries.

Many years ago, I lived in Malibu. Ran into Michael Landon and got a photo taken with him - he put his arm around my neck and - WHOA! - his biceps were just pumped. I had forgotten the guy had been a star track athlete, and he had a real willingness to pump iron, to share time with his workout-star wife.

Nine months later, he was dead from pancreatic cancer, and weighed less than 90 lbs.

That shit killed my grampa before I was born. Took an uncle. Currently taking a friend.

Fuck cancer.
