Just got this........I hope she recovers fast....... wonderwall.msn.com/music/Report-Aretha-Franklin-diagnosed-with-pancreatic-cancer-1586478.story?gt1=28135"I Say A Little Prayer" singer, 68, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A family source allegedly shared the sad news with The Detroit News, while another relative is said to have backed up the claims to the city's Fox 2 News. A spokesperson for Franklin had yet to respond to requests for a comment Her pal, Reverend Jesse Jackson, has assured fans the singer is "recovering very well" from the undisclosed surgery, insisting she is on her feet as she recuperates in hospital and that her spirits are "high and her faith is strong." Franklin found herself at the center of much speculation recently after doctors ordered her to cancel all concert dates and personal appearances scheduled until May, including a Christmas concert in her adopted hometown of Detroit on Thursday. Last Thursday, Franklin thanks her fans for their support but remained quiet on the reason for the surgery. In a statement she said, "The surgery was highly successful. God is still in control. I had superb doctors and nurses whom were blessed by all the prayers of the city and the country. God bless you all for your prayers!" By blackglove at 2010-12-11

Sad to say...
Pancreatric Cancer is not something that can be overcome for most folks that find themselves with this affliction.
Cancer moves "up" in a body, and this is a situation that will find itself in control...as much as I hate to say it.
All the best to her...but in all honesty and fairness...it's going to be one helluva struggle.
Thanks Kim
