Jobs' Death Draws Awareness to Pancreatic Cancer

October 6, 2011

Dear Editor,

Our hearts go out to the family of Steve Jobs, his friends and colleagues. He was an American icon and one of the greatest visionaries of our time. His passing is such a great loss for our country.

While we did not know him personally, our families have also been touched by the devastating reality of pancreatic cancer.

Although Mr. Jobs battled a rare form of pancreatic cancer (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor) his passing, if due to the disease, serves as a harsh reminder of the relentlessness of this deadly cancer and the lack of pre-screening methods and effective treatment options available. We are encouraging our western Kentucky friends to take action now to ensure scientific progress is made to give pancreatic cancer patients a fighting chance.

We need our Members of Congress to co-sponsor and pass the Pancreatic Cancer Research & Education Act (S. 362/H.R. 733) so we will have the necessary funding to make true progress against this disease. To learn more about this important and life-changing legislation and how you can make a difference, visit www.knowitfightitendit.org.

We hope all those inspired by Mr. Jobs will honor his memory by joining the fight against pancreatic cancer. To become involved locally, visit our Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Community Rep – Paducah, KY page on Facebook. Together we can know, fight and end this deadly disease.

Sincerely,

Carol Foreman
Community Representative
