FACING PANCREATIC CANCER with Dr. Allyson Ocean and Elaine Gardner
|
FACING PANCREATIC CANCER Prominent Oncologist and Fearless Pancreatic Cancer Patient Offer Inspiration in Recognition of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month Until the recent spike of high-profile pancreatic cancer cases among luminaries, such as US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and actor Patrick Swayze, the disease received little media attention. Yet, the latest report from the American Cancer Society suggests a compelling reason to take notice. In the US, the number of pancreatic cancer diagnoses and deaths continues to rise notably each year. Of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, only one in four survives one year and one in twenty lives for five years. Despite this discouraging news, advances in pancreatic cancer treatments are helping some patients live longer with this disease. These patients are spreading hope by beating the odds and demonstrating that life continues in the face of advanced cancer. As Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month approaches this November, interview an acclaimed oncologist and an inspiring pancreatic cancer patient. Diagnosed nine months ago with advanced stage disease, Elaine Gardner continues to serve as a non-denominational preacher, actively exercise, attend car shows and ride Harleys with her husband. Elaine cherishes the time she spends with her two grown daughters and looks forward to returning to work full-time this month.

Pancreatic Cancer Blood Test
|
Did you know that more than one person a day dies from pancreatic cancer in Oklahoma? It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States - so often deadly because it is seldom caught early. Currently, the five-year survival rate for patients with pancreatic cancer is only 4 percent. Experts at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center say that is because it is seldom diagnosed until it is in it's advanced stages. Now researchers at OU hope they may soon change that. Their work may bring a new blood test for pancreatic cancer in the not too distant future. This is research that brings hope of turning around the deadly statistics surrounding this often silent killer. This same research could lead to ways to identify other cancers at their earliest stages too. |
