Our own Alicia Smith's father died from pancreatic cancer in May of 2017. In August of this year, her father-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is currently battling it with treatment.
"This is such a difficult disease to fight because so often by the time it's discovered, it's spread to other parts of the body. I'm so proud of my father-in-law for fighting so hard. We are waging hope," said Smith.
