How To Survive Pancreatic Cancer: What You Need to Know Right Now!: Vital Information from Doctors, Survivors, and Lisa Stough's Personal Journey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798878269094)

Lisa Stough has just been told she has pancreatic cancer. Those two words strike fear in her soul as she knows it's a death sentence. But Robin, her husband, isn't about to accept it. As a former business owner and executive, he's used to solving problems-big ones. He quickly searches the internet for a comprehensive pancreatic cancer book. Unfortunately, he can't find one. So he cobbles together several books and taps into his circle of friends and family for advice.
Along with the valuable Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN.org) resource, Lisa and Robin set off on a journey through the world of surviving pancreatic cancer. They must fight through medical mistakes and various professionals before finding doctors with the latest cutting-edge weapons to tackle this deadly disease. Along the way, they meet longtime survivors and learn that pancreatic cancer isn't always a guaranteed death sentence.
Lisa's one-year journey is both scary and courageous. And after chemo, radiation, surgery, and chemo again, she is miraculously pronounced to have "No Evidence of Disease." Four years after diagnosis, Lisa lives a full and robust life. That's when Robin decides to deliver on his initial promise: When Lisa survives this, I'll write a book detailing our journey and provide important information we learned for pancreatic cancer patients! This is that book.
How to Survive Pancreatic Cancer has three parts. The first part is a day-by-day journey of Lisa and Robin as they navigate the various treatments and healthcare systems while discovering the importance of the caregiver. An epilogue also details the clinical trial Lisa endured. The second part is directly from the doctors who participated in Lisa's treatment and recovery. From MD Anderson to UT Southwestern, the medical professionals discuss the current treatments for pancreatic cancer and the future ones that show promise.
The third part tells the inspiring stories of several pancreatic cancer survivors, providing the one tool that's so important in fighting this disease: HOPE!
Whether you read one section or all three, this book is vital for anyone who wants to find the best professionals and the latest techniques for beating pancreatic cancer.
