Pancreatic Cancer Impacts Lives


Cancer takes life of Ms. Jo Carol and hurts her family and friends along with Mr. Scott Cooper battling the same abnormal pancreatic cancer that murdered Ms. Carol.

“She was my favorite aunt. Seeing her in severe pain was too much. She had to take in a lot of morphine for the pain.”  Christine Rice had said it was very hard at the ‘end’ and that her aunt was begging to “die” and “she died right there in my arms”. Rice told the interviewer. When she was asked how she found out about the cancer she had this to say, “She kept going to the doctors for back pains, till they found out what was wrong with her.” Apparently Ms. Carol found out in March and shortly after died on April 19th of 2009.

Rice claimed that Ms. Carol was the one who held their family of twelve brothers and sisters together. Carol had kids all over the age of 18 who, according to Rice, had already lost their father and now their mother.

Cooper, who is currently battling the same cancer that killed Carol, was telling his continuing story as well.

“I’m very drowsy all the time. I can’t do physical activities. I’m on a lot of different medications at the moment, but my body doesn’t adjust well to it.” Cooper answered in an interview just recently. He told the interviewer that his doctor said he had about five years to live, but he is still living from year 2001. He already had part of his pancreas removed and he is still battling this sickness many people are affected by.

Will Mr. Cooper be a survivor and beat this cancer?

Scientific research shows that cancer is usually caused by out of control cell growth. According to documented information, pancreatic cancer is caused by the pancreas cell being damaged, causing it to act abnormally.
