I also have been checking the site daily to see how he's doing.  I hope he's doing ok  He may just need all his strength right now to fight the disease or, he may be spending all his time just focusing on his family.  Such a wonderful family.

I, too, have  been concerned about Dr. Pausch. His website has not been updated since June 26th, and his CA19-9 tumor marker number was really high -- 1400. I know it is not our place to interfere with his business, but I am hoping that he is doing all right and do not know how to let him or his family know that people are with them and thinking of them all the time, checking his website and just hoping to hear that he is still here with them on earth.

I was so hopeful .... I am glad at least that we got to know him before it was too late.

Help Cancer Patients Like Connie Loughman...

Video made by: http://www.CureConnieAndPatrick.comPresentation by the Loughman family of Indianapolis, IN. Connie Loughman, loving wife and mother of three daughters, is battling pancreatic cancer, the same disease that Hollywood legend, Patrick Swayze, recently announced he has.Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer. 90% of patients die within 1-year of being diagnosed. Over 95% of patients die within 5-years of being diagnosed.The good news is that there is a revolutionary new treatment called TNFerade by GenVec, Inc. which is in clinical trials and has already cured patients and saved lives.The FDA allows persons with terminal illnesses for which there is no effective treatment protocol (a universe which includes pancreatic cancer patients) to obtain access to drugs in clinical trials - outside of the trial.It's called expanded access/compassionate use.The problem: GenVec, Inc. has denied requests by people with pancreatic cancer to receive the drug outside of the current PACT clinical trial - even those who are willing to pay for the costs of the treatment (such as the Loughman family).Please go to http://www.CureConnieAndPatrick.com and ask GenVec, Inc. to grant compassionate use/expanded access of TNFerade to pancreatic cancer patients such as Connie Loughman and Patrick Swayze.Please note that Patrick Swayze does not support, promote, recommend or endorse any particular treatment whose efficacy and side effects are unknown to him. Thus, we wish to make clear that our inclusion of Mr. Swayze's image and likeness is meant to raise public awareness of pancreatic cancer and the efforts that hopefully will enable progress toward improved detection techniques and improved treatment.
