Randy Pausch’s testimony to the Labor, Health and Human Serv
Posted by Dolores
StopPancreaticCancer asked:
On March 13, 2008, Dr. Randy Pausch provided testimony to the Labor, Health & Human Services Subcommittee on behalf of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. This is his personal story about his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and his fight to survive.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, but receives extremely little federal funding to support research efforts. In March of 2008, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network went to Congress to urge the federal government to provide critical funding to speed the cure for this horrible disease.

God bless you Randy and your family. You are an angel in heaven. My father is battling pancreatic cancer and he fights everyday. I pray there is more research and a cure in the future. Its a terrible agressive disease.

I highly appreciate your words, love, patient, simplicity and your gentle behaviour.
I wish we had many of Randy in our world, because we need to be educated and encouraged properly. Randy, I swear on god that I miss you too much and whenever I watch your videos my heart goes out for you but I can not prevent myself from watching your interviews and lectures. I sincerely and humbly have special regards to his brave wife and lovely children. May god bless you Randy and your soul rest in peace.

Again, thanks Randy Pausch for changing my life!
I don`t have words to describe this man!

My father died of pancreatic cancer 4 months after his diagnosis. I am thankful for Dr. Pausch and the efforts he made to increase awareness of this disease. Research for this disease is significantly underfunded.

This isn’t a place for hate, some of you people need to grow up.

You Go Randy

I think this man has done so much good in this world. He has opened our minds to a cancer, and make us think about it and make a change. After watching his last lecture I really understood his love for his family and his students and job. He is a great man and didnt deserve any of this. I could never say he was SELF CENTERED or his WIFE just wanted the MONEY. I garenttee his family would choose him over any money. I hope you feel ashamed zzzFATxxTONYzzz. You are just terrible!
January 18th, 2009 at 11:48 pm

January 20th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
zzFAxxTONYzzz…..you are one sick person. Probably someone who just waits for a situation like this to make everyone reply to your miserable existance. This is my last one, your not worth the time it takes so hit “send”.

would stem cells have helped him?

As a woman widowed at 28 with a 6 month old and 2 1/2 year old, I know the pain and struggle that Mr. Paush’s wife is feeling and will continue to feel every day as she tries to make the best decision for her children, by herself. He states he knows he will die, 100% sure. He is asking for help for the future patients of this horrible disease, NOT for himself. How the hell is that self centered? Godspeed Randy, you have touched my life and that of my children forever.

If you want to give to the pancreatic action network - where he has a fundraising page set up (for research, all of it) you can go to firstgiving dot calm forward slash randypausch
I hope to see that fund grow and grow in honor of this man’s memory and in hopes of helping others who don’t even know they have pancreatic cancer yet!

you were and still are a sparkling example of human pureness that we need more of in the world.
I wish your spirit well on its travel to the next plane.

What a brave man. It is one thing to be given a death sentence. It is another to use one’s opportunity to use one’s own imminent mortality as a goad to others to live, as Pausch did. He was courageous, and selfless. So admirable, so brave.

I have been watching all this for a long time.
As an thyroid cancer survivor from the age 16, this should be a warning for U.S. for its programs. Everything about medicine has been very capitalistic and this is true for in all aspects. (Medicine, Doctors and research)
I am not crying out for communism but for the farewell of humanity social medicine and research is only the just thing to do.
Farewell prof. Rest in peace. Hope on day humanity will understand every message you have left us.

Oh, please may you rest in peace Dr. You are an inspiration to all of us…
What a wonderful man you were.
I am so sad that you’re no longer here.
May the angels in Heaven give you a little extra TLC, because you deserve it.
