Pancreatic cancer is back in the news with the imminent demise of Casey Coleman. Getting serious for a moment, the survival rate for pancreatic cancer is still only around 4%, the worst of all cancers. And for the 96% who don't make it, very few get to a third year after diagnosis. Still, funding for pancreatic cancer is at the bottom.
So, I guess what I'm sayin' is, if you find yourself with an extra buck or two or are looking for some place to flip a few bucks in the form of a donation, think about an organization that helps fund pancreatic cancer research. It would be terrific if those who contract pancreatic cancer can at least get a fighting chance at survival.
