I am by no means a medically educated person but I've never heard of anyone living 8 yrs past a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. All I can suggest is that Philip scared the dickens out of the cancer and didn't dare take him before he was ready.

Philip had a uti at the time of the Jubilee in 2012, and had ongoing issues after that. I can believe he had pancreatic cancer but preferred to soldier on until he couldn't any more. The Kent brothers are the same. I can also believe HM was angry that he passed without her being able to say goodbye. My grandmother was furious at my grandfather dying after she and my mother has left to get some food. He waited until she was gone and died with only my aunt with him. Anger is a part of grief, and we all know how anguished HM was after Philip's death.

It's possible to live 8 yr. after a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, but it has to detected at a very, very, early stage and be extremely small and localized. There's follow up treatment, of course, and monitoring. Unfortunately, tumors grow back and many times they grow and spread rapidly.
The usual marker is a 5 yr. survival, but that's rare. I've taken care of pancreatic cancer patients on the floor and in surgery. I've never had any patients that survived 5 yr., usually they pass within months. My one cousin's wife was diagnosed with it on a New Year's Eve and she passed 2 weeks later. The symptoms are really insidious and by the time of diagnosis it's progressed too far. Philip was very, very lucky.

This means Harry has to have known about his grandfather's diagnosis before he ever met Her. That makes his behavior after his marriage even more despicable, and puts Her behavior way beyond despicable. Foul, nasty slugs.
