While most of you are thinking of Halloween, I am thinking that November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month.
Please watch this then send it to as many folks as you can. http://www.pancan.org//section_about/news_press_center/video_library/video_general_psa_9_16_09.php

That's a good video. I'm going to the doc Wednesday so I'll ask about a screen...
motto: if you don't suspect it you can't detect it. Scott--make your doc listen. 90% of docs will try discounting it rather than looking for it. With our family history it's important to stress that we are at a higher risk. According to my surgeon, my tumor was likely 5-6 years old. Thinking about that I imagine had they found it at 2 cm I would be free and clear now. But it went long enough to spread. So please, if your doc won't take it seriously find another doc who will.

I watched the video. Good information on what the symptoms are and how important it is to get checked.
