Pancreatic Cancer: It's a Family Affair
By Lisa M. Strahs-Lorenc

Pancreatic Cancer: It’s a Family Affair tells of the effects of cancer on the family. Cancer affects the whole family, forever changing and forever coping with the disease. While there are support groups for patients, caregivers, and children, the family unit—its dynamics, its stability, its foundation—will never be the same.
Throughout the pages, readers will discover different stories about the lives affected by cancer through twenty-two contributors from twenty families. They represent spouses, siblings, adult children and patients themselves. It is divided into sections, from “Before Cancer” (BC) to “Building a New Life,” where the family members share their experiences that will provide support to readers wherever they are on this sad journey.
The Lustgarten Foundation will receive a portion of proceeds from the sale of this book.
