My father in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when our daughter was 9 months old.  She was his first granddaughter.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! I know how hard that can be for the family as well. Is he able to get treatments?

He had surgery but it was too advanced.  He was sick for 9 months and passed away when our daughter was 18 months old.  She's 18 now so he's been gone for a little over 16 years now.

Well, I can't relate to some extent. My father passed away 2 years unexpectedly. It wasn't from cancer, and we actually never thought he was going to pass away that day when he went to the hospital. But, it's very hard to lose loved ones!
