West Chester resident Beth Sininger says Dec. 14, 2010, was the worst day of her life. At age 52, she received the shocking news that her lingering stomach pain was actually stage 3 pancreatic cancer.
“I thought maybe I had a bad case of acid reflux. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my diagnosis would be pancreatic cancer,” she recalls. “All I could think was: ‘I am going to die. I can’t leave my husband and family so soon.’”
