That matches my recollection. I don't remember the specific cancer -
only the it was generally 100% fatal and "fast-acting". Probably it was pancreatic cancer - which has claimed several of my relatives and
friends.
That rings familiar also. I have to be careful as I am at high risk
for pancreatic cancer as well as chronic lymphocitic (?) leukemia. CLL runs in my family.
I did the DNA test offered from "23 and Me" after my B-I-L (who is very (notoriously so) cheap) told me of a way to get Medicare to pay for it.
Turns out that I am at risk for breast cancer. After I quit laughing
and dried my eyes a little voice told me to check. And, yes, guys can
get breast cancer - even though they can't nurse babies. But, it's
pretty rare - fortunately.

Title: Pork Roasted w/Tangerine Peel & Thyme
Categories: Pork, Herbs, Citrus, Poultry
Yield: 6 Servings
3 lb Center-cut pork loin roast
1 tb Fine-grated tangerine rind *
2 ts Fresh thyme leaves
3/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Cumin
1/4 ts Black pepper
14 1/2 oz Can chicken broth
1/2 c Fresh tangerine juice
3 tb All-purpose flour
1/4 ts Fresh ground black pepper
Fresh thyme sprigs; (opt)
Set the oven @ 320ºF/160ºC.
Trim and discard any excess fat from the pork loin.
Place it on a wire rack in a 13" X 9" baking pan.
In a small bowl, combine tangerine rind, thyme, 1/2
teaspoon salt, the cumin, and pepper. Rub the mixture
evenly over all sides of the pork and set aside in the
refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Add the chicken broth to the baking pan and roast the
pork, uncovered, for 2 hours. When the pork is done,
transfer it to a cutting board and let stand for 15
minutes.
In a one-cup measuring cup or small bowl, combine
tangerine juice, flour, pepper, and the remaining 1/4
teaspoon salt.
Remove the wire rack from the baking pan. Stir the
tangerine mixture into the broth remaining in the baking
pan. Add enough water to the liquid in the pan to get
1 1/2 cups of liquid. Heat the mixture to boiling,
stirring constantly, until it is thickened and bubbly.
Pour the gravy into a small pitcher. Slice the pork and
arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish the pork with
thyme sprigs and serve with the gravy.
* When choosing tangerines, look for fruit that is heavy
for its size with a skin that has no soft or puffy spots.
Fruit with a deep yellow-orange or almost red luster
indicates freshness, maturity & good flavour. Tangerines
can stay fresh up to a month when stored loose in the
refrigerator.
