The Pursuit Of Wellness

The Pursuit Of Wellness 5K Walk/Run Pancreatic cancer, an under recognized, leading cause of death amongst Americans, has no cure.

There are currently very few incidents of early detection with this variety of cancer- 75 percent of patients die within one year of their diagnosis. Because the symptoms of pancreatic cancer are so vague, by the time the diagnosis is made, it may be too late. The average life expectancy following diagnosis is a mere three to six months, with treatment options being very slim. Only 15 percent of p

atients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are able to have the tumors surgically removed. The remaining 85 percent of patients embark on various paths of chemotherapy, radiation, and other alternative medicines. An estimated 43,140 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year, and over 36,800 of those diagnosed will die from the disease, leading it to be the 4th leading cause of cancer related death in the United States.
