Lead Story
Students gather for pancreatic cancer vigil
The long trek up and down Slayter Hill represented a symbolic journey of faith as many students gathered to bring the voice of awareness to an often silent disease.
Jenny Hummer, a senior in the School of Nursing, described her mother, Kathy, as a healthy, vibrant and loving parent. In September 2008, Kathy was diagnosed with Stage IV non-metastic pancreatic cancer. Although Kathy’s health has remained stable due to chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Jenny has made it her mission to raise awareness for the disease.
Diagnosis of pancreatic cancer usually occurs in the later stages of the disease as the symptoms of this “silent killer” remain subtle, preventing proper prognosis and detection until it is too late.
