Charles Hagy

Pancreatic Cancer

In 2005, Charles Hagy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In March 2006—just seven months after being diagnosed—he was part of a relay team in a Knoxville marathon. Hagy continues chemotherapy treatment at UT Medical Center once a week, responding well to treatment and improving, reports Dr. Wahid Hanna, Hagy's physician.

Hagy's spirit and strength persevere, which he says he owes to his family, friends and Dr. Hanna for their encouragement and support. He says he is determined to continue raising awareness about pancreatic cancer and making the most of his time.
