PANCREATIC CANcER
 
 
 
 
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things  Philippians 4: 6-8 KJV
As November comes to a close so do our blogs on Pancreatic Cancer.  All of our blogs for this past month have been in honor of James Hess.  I thought I would give just a brief description of James in this blog so you may get just a glimpse of what kind of man James is and what he means to his family and others that he has touched. 
James is a 61 year old in the prime of his life. James was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in October of  2012. James  has been married for over 30 years to my sister Denise.  They have one son Jason.  James is a kind and giving man always putting others before himself.  James is able to fix anything that needs fixing.  James is now in the battle for his life against this terrible disease. 
 
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; Colossians 1: 3 & 9 KJV
 
Please join us as we pray for James Hess and his family.
James, we are praying for you and we LOVE YOU !!!!!

Since November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month we have been blogging about Pancreatic Cancer.  Over the last two weeks we have talked about signs and symptoms, and the possible causes of Pancreatic Cancer. 
 
This week we would like to give a few pointers on prevention.  It has not been proven that the following steps actually prevent pancreatic cancer but it will put you at lower risk (according to the Mayo Clinic).    
*     STOP SMOKING
If you smoke STOP.  Talk to your physician to help you stop.  There are several didn’t method to help smokers quit.  Your physician should be able to help you decide the correct treatment for you.  You Physician may want to direct you to a support group, use medications, nicotine replacement of some other treatment.  The moral is STOP.  If you don’t smoke DON’T START!!!
 
*    MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WIEGHT
If you are overweight try to lose weight.  You should diet by eating smaller portions, eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains along the proper exercise.  Loosing 1 to 2 pounds per week is healthiest and by losing weight slowly it is much easier to keep it off. 
These are only a couple of suggestions of lowering your risk.  Not only will this help in the prevention of Pancreatic Cancer,  but in every other aspect of your everyday life and overall health.  Remember you are the only one who truly knows their body. At the first sign of any undue change contact your doctor as early detection increases your chance of survival.  
 
This blog as all the November blogs is in honor of James Hess a patient in the battle of Pancreatic Cancer.
