Jaylon Redd Wasn't at Oregon's Pro Day for a Good Reason...

Recommended Posts

He was busy fighting off pancreatic cancer 😓

 

Thankfully it seems that he has a very optimistic prognosis and recovery going on, sending good thoughts to an excellent Oregon duck!

After successful surgery in January, Redd has been working his way back into physical condition in hopes of catching on with an NFL team.

Wow, those who I know who had pancreatic cancer, as the headline stated, didn't fair as well. This is, or is right up there as the deadliest forms of cancer out there. All the best to Mr. Redd, his health and life going forward.

Important to distinguish the types of pancreatic cancer.  Most common by far is adenocarcinoma and that is a pretty dismal disease that tends to strike older people. Even caught early and aggressively treated with surgery, survival rates aren't very good. Redd had a neuroendocrine tumor that is less common and hits a younger age group. At 2.5cm and if the cancerous part was limited to the center of the mass, his odds of cure are very high in spite of the involved surgery he would have had to remove it. All the best for him as he was a huge fan favorite and a really gutsy kid for the Ducks.
