It is hard to believe how long its been since I've seen this smiling face (Meme on the right in the black and gold). Its also hard to believe how much she missed, my wedding, the births of all her great grand kids, my cousins wedding. And the hardest to believe is that this picture was taken a mere month before she passed away.
Thats how Pancreatic Cancer is. One day you are doing great and then the next not so much.
Pancreatic Cancer is getting more press and more media attention due to the passing of Patrick Swayze -- but we can do more. Get involved. Wear purple. Share your story of a family member. Raise money.
The new campaign on PanCan.org is 'Know it. Fight it. End it.' Just a few facts for you to think about. Pancreatic Cancer is the 4th leading cause of Cancer death in the US and there are NO early detection tools. And less than 2% of the National Cancer Institute budget is allocated to Pancreatic Cancer. 4th leading cause...less than 2% of funding.
Know it. Fight it. End it.
I love you Meme! Miss you always.
