A deadly cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a disease with a very poor outlook. Once diagnosed, usually, only 5% of patients survive five years.

MY aunt has been diagnosed recently with pancreatic cancer. The only positive thing I can say about this is that she is 89 years old. Funnily enough, a few years back, she had some symptoms of bloating and indigestion. She was investigated then, and the doctor said she had some pancreatic enzyme problems. Where is our pancreas and what does it do?
