I am suspecting, from my own cancer experience and research, that a short battle may have been an aggressive pancreatic tumor.
Suspicion fueled by Ms. Alley's ongoing battle with her weight, which IS a large contributing factor for both diabetes and pancreatic cancer.

My beloved uncle Michael, who was only 4 years older than me, died just 19 days after diagnosis, extremely late Stage IV.

I was the 3rd of 4 cases in the family, others were maternal side: my grandmother Margherita (5 month survival), Michael (my mom's baby brother) and my 1st cousin Kevin (9 moths). I have no known genetic markers after extensive testing.

I have been corrected. My wife saw an article, which lists the cause of death as advanced colon cancer.

I'm a (later) Baby Boomer. (1959)

The series ran the first time in '73-'84, and THEN again in the 90's. Not sure why the Times just said Gen X.

Anyhoo, when the Newtowne Players were preforming the Schoolhouse Rock play here (mid 2000's?) - I took my kids and they loved it!!
