Mike Roshar's survivor speech

Tonight was a great night for Pancreatic Cancer awareness.  It was the Purple Light Nationwide Vigil for Hope where over 70 communities lit the night purple to honor and recognize those loved individuals battling or who have battled pancreatic cancer.

My dad was the keynote speaker at the Milwaukee event.  Dad was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer February 12, 2013.  His speech is below.  I couldn't be more proud!!!  My dad is the reason I started this blog, because when he was diagnosed, no one was giving us any hope for a stage four diagnosis.  Eight months out, we are so thankful that he is kicking butt and we celebrate every day! I could say more, but I wouldn't say it better than he says it himself!

  2. hi Jeannie, your dad's story was very inspirational! My mom was diagnosed in May after months of misdiagnosis. She was on GTX, and it was working up until last month. She tried abraxane and gemzar, which didn't work and today she's starting FOLFOX. My sisters and I were wondering what type of supplements your dad was referring to in his video. I was trying to use google +, but thought to post here too. Thanks!!!

  3. Hello Jeannie! I'm so thankful to find this and happy for your dad and all of your family! My father n law was diagnosed last week with the same. They gave him 6 months and a chance at kemo with a 1% chance to get better. Well, he wants to be that 1%. My wife and her family are overcome and in a slurry of a schedule and emotion so I am trying to get any info I can. If u have time, I would love any references that you could pass on. Thank you so much! Jamison flyinjays@yahoo.com

  5. Hey Jennie,
    My father was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer last week and we are meeting with a medical oncologist this week. I have researched all Chemo options. Can you tell me what chemo drug(s) your dad used? Also, what supplements. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Hi Jeannie: Your Dad's story gives so much hope to those of us affected by this disease! My Mom has stage 4 pc with mets to the liver and lungs and we found out tonight, to the stomach. She did abraxane & gemzar and then xeloda. The cancer spread and she has had horrific side effects that have hospitalized her 2x: uncontrolled vomiting & diarrhea, clots and infection. She is being considered for a clinical trial but only if her gi issues subside. Can you please give me info re: your Dad's treatment, supplements and diet? Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! ajfurman@gmail.com

  7. Dear Jeannie,
    I look to you for hope, strength and advice.
    My mom was diagnosed stage IV PC 4/8/13 @ the age of 48. The tumor was in the body (operable at diagnosis but bc it met. she was no longer a canidate) several liver spots, & a lung spot. She'll be doin round #13 of chemo Monday (7 Folfirinox, 3 GemsR & Abraxene, & 3 more Folfirinox). In Aug her tumor markers dropped to the low 600's so they let her have a break as I got married 9/21/13. And ever since shes snowballed.
    A collapsed lung, extreme pain (pain pump put in 10/30/13), constant nausea/vomitting. Her mental fight is drained. And its hard to keep pushing her and see her helplessness. So please if you will email me what supplements, meals, or even encouragment & the steps you and your family did to keep the fight alive. Thank you

He has lost some weight but still has goog appetite, no vomitting. Only fatigue and a bit of hairloss after 3 treatments of chemo. I would also like to know what vitamines or anything your dad took...
    Thanks

  12. Hi Jeannie! What a remarkable story. It gives us all hope! My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last week. It is inoperable because the tumor is on a main artery. The doctor thus far is giving us hope with chemo to shrink the tumor before operating. We are meeting with the oncologist tomorrow. However, he has lost a lot of weight but still feels overall okay. One of the concerns is getting him stronger within the weeks to come before treatments. It is hard for him to digest certain foods. We found out by eliminating oil and gluten/wheat from his diet it is easier for him. We are concerned he still is not getting enough nutrients. Do you have any suggestions on food or supplements for him? Please send me an email at anniebo33@yahoo.com I can't express how much your dad's speech moved me. My dad is the most important man in my life as it seems yours is too.

  13. Hi Jeannie! Thank you for sharing your father's story with us. My mother was diagnosed three months ago but because of jaundice we couldn't start treatment. My mother is the most important person in my life and it is so difficult to watch her suffering. Please, share your treatment plan with us on apolloniadesign@gmail.com . Thank you.

  15. Hi Jeannie,
    My most beautiful friend/family has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. She is a physician in Highlands Ranch. Her name is Jill Pechacek.
    I heard your dad's story and had her watch it and she was very inspired.
    She is very upbeat in spite of the diagnosis as well. Jill is the most loving and caring person you would ever hope to meet. When she found out she had the cancer, she issued a challenge to all
    to do 29 random acts of kindness in 11 days. This is in respects to Jeremiah 29:11. The challenge was so amazing and touched so many people that 2 TV stations interviewed her. I am including a copy of one of the interviews in this message for you and/or your dad to watch if you would like.
    I know she would love to talk to him if that is ever possible.

    Our motto is: "God's got This"

  18. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
