Sheila Sky Kasselman was diagnosed with the most common form of pancreatic cancer in the fall of 2007. She completed chemotherapy, radiation and 'Whipple' surgery to remove her tumor. Nine months after her diagnosis, Sheila founded and dedicated Sky Foundation to finding an early detection for this daunting disease.
