Pancreatic cancer survivor was given four months to live; six years later she shares her story

  • At age 69, Pam Sander had lived a wonderful life. A former teacher and lifelong St. Louis resident, Pam had been married to her soulmate, Roy, for almost 50 years. “We finish each other’s sentences,” Pam laughs. “We’ve gotten to be the typical old married couple.”
    After going to the doctor with stomach pain, Pam learned she had pancreatic cancer. “I asked the doctor how long somebody usually lives with this,” Pam recalls. “She said about four months.”
    After realizing she wouldn’t make it to 70, Roy was overcome with sadness. But Pam took the opportunity to reflect on how wonderful her life had been: “How lucky I had been to live my whole life with someone I loved. With children that I loved. With friends that I love…so we didn’t cry anymore. We just got on with gettin’ on.”
    As Pam tried to come to terms with her diagnosis, her doctor presented her with some potentially exciting news: she was eligible for a clinical trial of a new form of targeted radiation therapy, known as MRIdian, developed by ViewRay.
    Shortly after treatment, Pam learned that her tumor had not grown. “I felt like I could exhale,” she says. “Like we could live our lives again.”
    Now six years after treatment, Pam is one of an incredibly small number of pancreatic cancer survivors who has lived more than five years. She attributes the clinical trial using MRIdian to saving her life: “I [feel] proud to be part of history,” says Pam. “If this can help other people, wouldn’t that be wonderful? It just made [me] feel like [I was] doing something worthwhile… I thank the doctors and that machine for being my saviors.”

    My little brother has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer stage 4. He has just struggled his 2nd chemo. Please pray he makes it thru. I say he is my little brother because it's only us that's left. We are very close and have always been there for each other. I'm truly trying not to cry in front of him but it's so difficult 😢

    My dad was diagnosed with metastatic pancreas cancer (May 10), but until now he has not been scheduled for his chemo because the doctor sent his specimen for biopsy to another hospital for retesting.
    Can you all also pray for him that he will overcome this? I believe that the Lord will heal my father, so please include him in your prayers. My father's age is 53, and we are three siblings; our youngest sibling is only 18 y/o, I am also only 22 y/o, and our other sibling is 20 y/o. & my mom is also a highblood; we have not yet repaid our dad's sacrifice for us so that we can study and grow up well. We still want to experience the good life and do more for him. Your prayer is a very big help for me and my dad. So please include Dad in your prayers. Thank you!

    Hello everyone, my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, between stage 2-3 in August 2023. We have gone through the initial 4 chemo treatments and had some success. Tumor shrank just a little. After 4 more treatments, the tumor has not shrunken or grown. Issue has been eating and keeping weight. Lot of gas and bloating. We are now trying to improve his diet hoping for better results in 3 months. What if anything you guys or anyone recommend that helped deal with it. I hope whoever is dealing with cancer survive and live long life!

      I interviewed my colleague who used the Hoxsey center to cure her cancer. It was gone in 6 months - no chemo, no drugs - and their treatment cost is minimal (she paid only 3000 in total). If a patient can't pay the small fee, they are still treated: rumble.com/v4m6t26-how-healing-becomes-a-crime-the-hoxsey-cancer-cure-no-doctor-wants-you-to-k.html
