A joke about pancreatic cancer

Many of you probably heard about Sen. Ted Kennedy recently. He has a terrible, virtually untreatable form of cancer. In reality, he probably does not a lot of time. My heart goes out to him and his family.
I mention this only because it caused an interesting discussion with some of the other pathology fellows. There have been some recent advances in other areas of cancer research that are very interesting. Many of you probably heard that Patrick Swayze was recently diagnosed with stage-4 pancreatic cancer. However, pancreatic cancer, even late stage like that, is not the death sentence it once was. Naturally, most of the recent advances have been the result of diabetes research. (What else?) My own research at Roche took a similar turn.
To all of the promising research and the hope that it holds for Mr. Swayze, the only thing I had to say was "No one puts cancer in a corner." After the laughter died down, we looked up the misquote and I was disappointed to find that I was ~1000th person to think of it.
