The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network presented Laurie MacCaskill with the 2007 Spirit of Hope Award on Saturday, October 27, 2007 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles, California. This award is extremely special because it honors the courage of pancreatic cancer patients and their families. The award recognizes Laurie as a pancreatic cancer survivor and the hope and inspiration she contributes to the fight against this disease. This is part 1 of the video.
I was there the night Laurie gave her speech. I have Stage 3, and am an 8 year survivor. It has been quite a ride. You just dance with life when you can. A positive attitude will not give you more years, but it will make the time you have better My surgery was 10 and half hrs long. I spent 17 days in the hospital. Everyone is different. Don't feel bad if your story is different than Laurie's. I went from 185 lbs to 119lbs. I battle depression and pain still, but I dance when I can. I love life..
