You’re Not Alone

When Nancy Bigelsen learned about her husband Stephen’s diagnosis, she sprung into action.

Because Stephen is a doctor he knew a little about pancreatic cancer, and assumed that this was it for him. Nancy was not ready to lose her husband, and knew that the way to change his mind was to get him interested in learning more about the disease. They made it through treatment and a recurrence with the help of family and friends.

Watch Stephen’s tell his story in “I’m Not Dead Yet,” and learn more about his treatment in “Taking a Different Approach to Pancreatic Cancer Treatment.”
