Pancreatic Cancer: The Silent Killer

I want to bring more awareness about of pancreatic cancer. Sometimes people being informed could mean life or death.

So I want to try and bring more awareness about of pancreatic cancer. I bet most people don't even know where or what the pancrea does?

One thing is you can't live without it. And I really wish I didn't have to know about any of it either. But on 08/27/12, my husband of 17 years was diagnosed with stage 3 inoperable pancreatic cancer. And it has turned our whole families lives upside down.

It's been a very long very difficult 4 month journey for our family. My husband gets treatment at Fox Chase over in Philly. I have watched my strong, very energetic husband become very frail and run down.
