The nations of the world aren't going to unite and solve the problem, but the people reading HN could try to figure out what more can be done. Think about these people that we've lost due to pancreatic cancer and maybe it'll motivate enough people, or the right people, that something significant can be done.

Randy Pausch

Steve Jobs

Stephen Buchheit

Patrick Swayze

Ralph Steinman

After Steve Jobs died I looked into where best to give money for research, but I haven't followed through yet. Seems like Stanford or Randy's site might provide the best leads:

Any other recommendations?



Donate blood, too. Platelets are especially helpful with many advanced treatments.

In the Bay Area, I suggest Stanford Blood Center (http://bloodcenter.stanford.edu/).


Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center here at Hopkins:

It's worse than that list. Millions of people have lost their children, parents, sisters, brothers and all other manners of loved ones.
