We kick off Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month with Nick Pifani — husband, father, marathon runner, and survivor of Stage III inoperable pancreatic cancer. Nick shares how his symptoms led to a shocking diagnosis, his experience with chemo and radiation, and the emotional moment he learned his tumor had become operable.

He reflects on the strength he found through family, faith, and mindset, the life-changing Whipple surgery performed by Dr. Charlie Yeo, and his journey to no evidence of disease. Now an advocate and Survivor Council Co-Chair with PanCAN, Nick offers hope and guidance to anyone facing this diagnosis.

A powerful story of resilience and second chances.

This episode was just the introduction. The full breakdown is coming soon.
