(Hour 1b) Aimee Sherman of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network called in and Brendan Doyle from the Manchester Monarchs joined us in studio to share the details on their combined efforts to raise awareness.
Sherman shared the grim statistics for those afflicted with pancreatic cancer and we discussed three cases from our own backyard.

I met Aimee last spring at the Pancreas Education Day at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. I have to commend her on her dedication and passion for bringing more awareness to pancreatic cancer. I lost my husband nearly four years ago to pancreatic cancer and also lost my mother many years ago to the same horrific disease. Thanks to Girard at Large for helping her spread the word!
