November is #PancreaticCancer Awareness Month!
Life threw a growing #PublicHealth concern my way. #PancreasCancer is on track to become the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030. As I contemplate the care my husband received at #ColumbiaSurgery and at #MSKCancerCenter I’m reminded that we were very lucky. Many people — perhaps most — are not. And patients shouldn’t require the luck of geography, superior insurance, or a decent bank balance to access basic cancer care. #HealthCareAccess
