JB Jaso and Tyler Noesen were childhood friends. Life has a way of moving on, Tyler, married the love of his life and JB went on to join the US Army and serve our country. Even though they had not seen each other for a while, when Tyler was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer he asked JB to join him in Washington, DC and participate in PanCAN's National Advocacy Day. JB didn't know what to expect that day, but from that day on he continued the fight with Tyler and still continues today even after Tyler's death in 2012. Whether you watch or listen as JB shares his journey you will be moved. Taken from Tyler's Blog of Live "Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today."

Kelly Barber and her sister Wendi Cihacek share their journey with pancreatic cancer. Kelly talks honestly and emotionally about losing her husband, George, in 2006 to Pancreatic Cancer. Wendi did the unimaginable and moved across the state to support her sister and help with her niece, Megan, who was 2 at the time. Kelly took her pain and grief and turned it into something positive. She became involved with her local PanCAN affiliate, attending meetings, raising awareness and funds and sharing her journey with Members of Congress. Not surprisingly Wendi stepped in and supported her at every turn. Kelly shares, “When we first got started, it was just for George. Today, it’s still for George, but it’s also for all the people we’ve met who are alive and fighting.” Only on www.octalkradio.net Orange County's only Community Radio Station, livestreams from UCI Beall Applied Innovation Center @TheCove www.facebook.com/LivingHope2055

Agi and Ron met by chance when Agi’s father coached Ron’s son’s soccer team. Little did they know that on that day they would meet, fall in love and marry 3 months later. Ron was a real dynamite of a man, they balanced each other immediately. Ron was a thinker and Agi was a doer. Partners in life, partners in business and partners in fighting pancreatic cancer. Losing Ron was devastating but, Agi refused to give up on what they had been fighting for. They were fighting for a cure, they were fighting to live. After Ron’s death, Agi immediately took her pain and grief and turned it into something positive, the start of a foundation in memory of the man she loved. Agi's daughter, Lisa had a promising career of her own. Wanting to support her mother she agreed to help with the foundation while she was on maternity leave. Though she fully intended to go back and pursue her career, 20+ years later Lisa is now the Executive Director for the Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research and Co-Founder of the annual event Tour de Pier.
Agi, not one to let any grass grow under her feet started working on the foundation immediately after Ron’s death in May 1997. In July, that same year, the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research was born.
When asked what pearls of wisdom Agi could share with other Caregivers – "Have your moments, not just the disease. Your life is not about the disease, it’s about your relationship and about how you love each other."

What happens when you take two people out of their comfort zone and turn the tables? Special guest Dawn Kamber, Public Affairs Director and Host of “Impact OC” is usually on the other side of the mic. Dawn interviews guests who impact Orange County in a positive way. We turned the tables when we asked Dawn to share her journey with pancreatic cancer which started with a simple media release. Even being in the media, like most, Dawn had never heard of pancreatic cancer until she heard Michael Landon had been diagnosed. Why aren’t we hearing more about the disease before reading it in the obituary? What do we need to do to get and keep pancreatic cancer in the media forefront and not just when a celebrity is involved? Why does someone who doesn’t have a personal connection with pancreatic cancer become involved? Answers to these questions and more on OC Talk Radio Orange County’s only Community Radio Station livestreaming from from UCI Beall Applied Innovation at the Cove Thursdays at 11:00am PDT
