When Anne Shimabukuro, a healthy mother of two, noticed a sharp pain in her left side in 2005, one that manifested itself when she ate, she immediately sought medical attention. That led to a diagnosis of a malignant tumor in her pancreas. She wasted no time in getting part of her pancreas removed. It required a surgical procedure, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Anne survived pancreatic cancer and today enjoys a healthy lifestyle.
