We’re honored to share the story of Gerri Weiner, a three-year pancreatic cancer thriver. Diagnosed unexpectedly after a routine CT scan revealed a shadow on her pancreas, Gerri’s journey reminds us of the power of early detection.

Eight years before her diagnosis, Gerri’s father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, making her own diagnosis all the more surreal. Now, she uses her voice to bring awareness, hope, and encouragement to others. In this heartfelt conversation, Gerri opens up about survivor’s guilt, protecting her children’s future, and finding purpose through advocacy.

From “shadow on the scan” to thriver, advocate, and inspiration—Gerri’s journey is one you won’t want to miss.
