Michelle's Story

Pancreatic cancer usually strikes people over 70 and kills three in four patients in the first year. Michelle Kirlew, a vibrant and active 41 year old wife and mother of three, was determined to be the one in four who beat the odds. Her story is tale of hope and sadness, chaos and persistence. Her family wants you to see her emotional and physical rollercoaster of tests and treatments that usually happen out of sight and out of mind, behind closed curtains and doors at doctor’s offices and in homes, because they believe it can change lives. This is “Michelle’s Story.”
