Most of you know my mother passed away about three and a half years ago from pancreatic cancer. 37,000 Americans are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every year - a small number compared to those diagnosed with breast cancer, prostate cancer and others. Pancreatic cancer, however, is the deadliest type - only 5% of those diagnosed survive over 5 years. Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pauch was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last fall, and his journey through his disease has become a national phenomenon. Take a look at this video, as well as his book, The Last Lecture.
(Thanks to the best cousin in the world, Deanna, for turning me on to this guy. And guess what, D, he’s a MAC guy!)
