PURPLE PUMPKINS! Something a Pancreatic Cancer Family will cherish!

   As most of you know my Dad  ( 8/1/17) has  Pancreatic Cancer ( Stage IV) its a sad fact that  less than 15% of pancreatic cancer patients are eligible for surgery.
 My family immediately went to Cleveland,   we were able to have a WHIPPLE  Surgery at Cleveland Clinic 2/11/18 by an outstanding surgeon from Wales - Dr Gareth  Morris -Stiff. who performed a very long and complicated surgery that is allowing my Dad to enjoy a respite from Cancer.  He has done two series of chemo at Thomas Hospital Oncology Department with Dr Jogenpoly.
.
   My Dad is now able to again see his trainer and enjoy many of the things he did prior to our year of Pancreatic Cancer.   He is looking forward to attending WVU Football this year.  As a 45 year season ticket holder.  NOT attending WVU Football was one of his greatest fears.

    PURPLE the COLOR for Pancreatic Cancer - has become my family's new favorite color.
    The Color of HOPE for Pancreatic Cancer!

Blenko is providing a selection of 3 purple pumpkins.   The Blenko Glass on line catalog describes the pumpkins as: ** .blenkoglasswww.blenkoglass.com.   While I don't think BLENKO GLASS designed this pumpkin with Pancreatic Cancer in mind.  It is perfect!

     Instead of sending flowers and candy to the home or hospital of your friend with Pancreatic Cancer  consider a long lasting gift of PURPLE GLASS.  Or Better Yet buy one for yourself to remind you to donate to PanCan and support the   Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Or as a constant remind of your PC warrior.   Or perhaps like our surgeon Gareth Morris-Stiff,  Purple is just your favorite Color!
  Blenko has added several  the beautiful shade of purple for 2018.
