In honor of a friend I didn't know well enough..."Cancer sucks. Having it sucks more."

A post I made per a man who recently died of pancreatic cancer. A man who attended the church Mom and Dad go to. A man I barely got to know and who left too soon.

We need to remember...and do something.

That's a nice tribute to Dave. I wish we would all make a donation to pancreatic research this Christmas. If everyone would do something, even if it's only a few dollars, it would add up. Steve, tell us how to do it. I have donated before but I don't remember how I did it.

go to http://pancan.org/section_donate/
and look in upper right--button to donate. thx. thing to remember here is I am in the fortunate minority. Most diagnosed have zero chance. Like when I was first diagnosed my doc told me straight up that I was in for the fight for my life--I'd be lucky to make 5 years. Sobering...
