My mom called me the other day, and shared the news of a doctor's visit. They thought there was something strange on one of her lungs, and they wanted to do a follow up. She had been a smoker for 25 years, quitting around 20 years ago. She went in for a CAT scan, and the good news was that her lungs checked out clear. The bad news was that they found a growth on her pancreas.

That is a horrible thing to hear, and pancreatic cancer is one of the worst and most aggressive ones. They haven't done the biopsy, so no official diagnosis yet. I did feel a bit better when I read that 80% of tumors on the pancreas are non-malignant. And it is less than 3cm, so meaning if it is they caught it early.
