Pancreatic Cancer Action Network PSA with Dr. Randy Pausch


Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, but receives extremely little federal funding to support research efforts. Dr. Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor who has pancreatic cancer, has joined efforts with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to urge the federal government to provide critical funding to speed the cure for this horrible disease.

Dr. Pausch has such a brilliant mind, resilient spirit&true gift for educating the world. Thank you for uploading this p.s.a., may medical science be allowed to proceed, that there be a great reduction in such senseless losses to the human race. (Not that Dr. Pausch will ever be lost to us!)

I heard him speak in Seattle in 1999.
And ran into him at Universal Studios in LA.

He impresses me as the most alert enthusiastic person I've ever met. A man that enjoys living, thinking, dreaming, communicating, teaching, learning, creating.

I think Randy Pausch has a great positive attitude. He will never completely die. I wonder what song is playing at the beginning though.

Many thanks to you Randy and to PANCAN. Your are making a difference and will continue doing so. My family is no stranger to pancreatic cancer... my paternal great grandfather (in the 1960's died after being diagnosed only a few weeks), my father (in 1981 at the age of 53 died within 4 mo. of diagnosis) and my paternal grandmother (in 1990 at the age of 86 died within 6 weeks of diagnosis). To each of you reading this, live your lives fully and love deeply. Life is so very precious.

Thank you Dr.Pausch for addressing the seriousness of this disease. My father died in Nov 07. He was 77 years old and thought that his problem had to do with age. He was diagnosed in the last stages. He had surgery for benign colon cancer in Jan 2006 and I truly believe that he might have been in the first stages of pancreatic cancer and they didnt know what they were looking at. He couldnt recieve chemo because he was too weak. A professional of your stature might help wake up the government.
