There's a number of other terms I could use to describe myself and our pancreatic cancer journey. But these are primary, and this is the reason I'm sharing my story. Our story.

Like many others, my involvement with PanCAN began with the loss of a loved one. My brother, Jim, just three days after his 60th birthday and only 27 days after his diagnosis, passed away from pancreatic cancer.
