Dr. Randy Pausch’s Journal
March 24th, 2008I recently posted the video to Dr. Randy Pausch’s last lecture on Oprah, and I’ve been following Dr. Randy Pausch’s journal for good reason.
I’m helping to take care of someone who also has pancreatic cancer and is considered terminal. So, I’m just trying to get as much info on the web as possible.
Here’s a recent video from Dr. Randy Pausch.
On March 13, 2008, Dr. Randy Pausch provided testimony to the Labor, Health & Human Services Subcommittee on behalf of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. This is his personal story about his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and his fight to survive.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, but receives extremely little federal funding to support research efforts. In March of 2008, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network went to Congress to urge the federal government to provide critical funding to speed the cure for this horrible disease.

I saw Dr. Randy Pausch on the Ophra show and was very inspired. A month later my daddy who lives in Barbados, West Indies was also diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, and it has been the hardest thing. I have just returned from Barbados where the doctors performed a pallative surgery on my dad that is supposed to prolong his life anywhere from six months to one year…What I have been told is that Pancreatic Cancer is one of the fast going cancers in Barbados. My daddy walked alot, didn’t smoke or drink. He was a little stressed out and really didn’t make multivitamins…I welcome any susggestions and comments…In the meantime I have to keep smiling and hoping…Eugenia

[...] I’d been following his online journal for months, mainly because my father-in-law was diagnosed with the same dreaded disease back in January 2008, and passed away last month on June 3rd, 2008 in the Philippines. [...]
