November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month ~ How many know that? How many people know that this is one of the most deadliest cancers? How many of you think "it can't touch me or my family"?
Wear a purple ribbon this month because November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month; a disease whose deceptive nature demands that as much light be shed on it as possible.
Show your support for the fighters, the survivors and the taken. Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States...
I think pancreatic cancer is the scariest cancer because it is probably the most incurable. I know two people who died of it at relatively young ages - a man who was 50 and a woman in her late 40's.
Definitely. My grandpa died of pancreatic cancer. When he was diagnosed it was like someone coming up to us and saying "Hello, your Grandfather is going to die soon." And he did.
My beloved received her diagnosis of pancreatic cancer 5/25/10 and died 10/28/10. We too never thought "this can happen to me"......
And there is nothing worse than that process. About a year after chemo for me, on a follow appointment something didn't look right with my pancreas. So further testing was needed. Having beat cancer a year earlier I was scared to death.

It ended up being a false alarm for me. The days of not knowing, was a second time I thought about my dying...
Whew ~ I'm so glad for you!
Please keep an eye on it... My love was told a few years ago it looked like there was a "shadow" on the pancreas but no follow up was ever done... If there had been, maybe it would have been operable and ..... Ifs and wishes don't change the reality, unfortunately....
Very sorry for all of your losses. My GF lost her dad to it after he was diagnosed in advanced stages and given about 3 months, which turned out to be about right.
