    My father passed away from pancreatic cancer in November. The fact Eric’s was caught so early, he is so unbelievably lucky… it’s an awful disease and the exposure Eric Idle has given it is so appreciated!

    We're grateful Eric Idle is alive, couldn't agree more.

    Not just a National Treasure, an International Treasure. He teaches us how to laugh at the absurdity that is life, which is a wonderful gift indeed.

    My brother beat pancreatic cancer too. The operation is intense. The incision goes across the entire abdomen. But he has fully recovered. Amazing. They caught it very, very early but told him he still only had a 1 in 3 chance of survival. He's one of the 1 in 3.

    Eric Idle, what a comedy legend. I'm so happy to hear that he survived "kenny".

    My Dad beat pancreatic cancer and about 5 years later he died of congestive heart failure. Eric Idle is so optimistic, God bless him!

    This entire story was only possible in the USA, not the UK, Canada, or Australia. From learning about pancreatic cancer from going with his doctor to a Dodger's game, to going for a "routine" checkup including a contrast-MRI, to admission for surgery at Cedars-Sinai under a pseudonym within 10 days. If you're one of the 92% of Americans with insurance, it's the best healthcare system in the world.

    I love the story that he commented once to George Harrison about how difficult it was trying to get a skit he had written into the Monty Python show, given the genius of the other members, and George responded, “Tell me about it.” They were friends.

    I almost burst into tears. I'm so damned happy he's doing good after that.

    I love the true story about him living in France and a family living nearby, the guy kept trying to sell him a vacuum cleaner, he said he didn't need one but kept supplying them with food cos they were struggling financially. The guy was James dyson.

    I always thought that Tom Hanks was a great guest on Graham Norton and was able to keep interviews going ... but BLOODY HELL ... Eric Idle is straight out a natural genius.

    So glad that Eric survived Kenny. He has always been one of my comedy idols, and such a lovely man by all accounts. Best wishes Eric, from New Zealand.

    Lost my mother to pancreatic cancer in 1991. Diagnosed at 38, she was dead at 40. Would be marvelous if they could tackle this disease.
