Pancreatic Cancer


Mike Shrader was diagnosed at the age of 59 with pancreatic cancer. He is a Chicago fireman and was a first responder at the World Trade Center.
He has always been healthy and rarely got sick, so the diagnosis was a shock to him. Initially, he did not want to have any treatment and thought it would be best to just let nature take its course, but without treatment he was given 16 weeks to live. He was not ready to die and with the support of family and friends, he moved forward with a treatment plan.
Mike had surgery, six months of chemotherapy and one month of radiation-proton therapy at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. And he is now living cancer free.
Mike lives each day with a positive attitude and has a zest for life. Mike says, “No one can do this cancer thing alone. I know that I am so very blessed and am one of the lucky ones. I am grateful to be a cancer survivor.”

Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. That's because the disease often lies hidden and doesn't cause symptoms until it's spread. But, for a small number of pancreatic cancer cases, one clue can help doctors find the tumor early, while it's still curable. That clue is an unexpected diagnosis of diabetes.
In this Mayo Clinic Minute, reporter Vivien Williams talks to Dr. Michael Wallace about the link between pancreatic cancer and diabetes.
