In this episode, we welcome Ken Miller, a stage 1 pancreatic cancer survivor diagnosed less than a year ago—one of the earliest diagnoses we’ve featured. Ken shares how subtle signs like rising blood sugar and digestive issues led to a critical second opinion that changed everything.

He opens up about the physical and emotional challenges of treatment and recovery, including fatigue, neuropathy, and finding his “new normal.” Ken also reflects on the vital role his wife and children played throughout his journey and offers powerful advice for others: trust your instincts, speak up, and never ignore changes in your health.

Ken’s story is a moving reminder that early detection, determination, and strong support can make a life-saving difference.

In honor of National Cancer Survivor Month, Living Hope kicks off June with pancreatic cancer survivor and former educator Wes Semple. After a shocking diagnosis in 2005, Wes underwent emergency surgery and grueling treatment—but survival was only the beginning.

In this episode, Wes shares how he transformed his experience into purpose, becoming a passionate advocate, mentor, and voice of hope for others facing this disease. From returning to the classroom to lobbying in Washington, Wes reminds us that survivorship can spark lifelong impact.
