Join the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and Raise Your Voice in November for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (http://www.pancan.org), the only national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure, launches Raise Your Voice (http://www.pancan.org/raiseyourvoice), a national campaign recognizing Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.
