Scott Frost shares his insights from our newsletter:
I happened to catch part of Ron Howard’s Apollo 13 recently, and one scene stuck with me.
One of the most powerful moments in that movie isn’t the launch.
It’s not even the explosion.
It’s the moment everyone realizes that time has become the most valuable thing they have left.
From that moment on, every decision is about one thing:
Buy the astronauts enough time to get them home.
Because when life suddenly changes, time becomes priceless.
You start measuring it differently.
For families facing cancer, time isn’t measured in days or months.
It’s measured in birthdays.
Soccer games and school plays.
Movie nights on the couch.
Holidays and family dinners.
And sometimes, a little more time can change everything.
That’s why one breakthrough treatment for pancreatic cancer has doctors talking about hope.
One oncologist who has treated pancreatic cancer for sixteen years said she started crying when she first saw the study results.
The experimental drug nearly doubled survival time and improved quality of life for many patients.
In Apollo 13, buying a little more time changed the entire mission.
In medicine, it can mean opening the door to another treatment option.
Another birthday.
Another chance to make memories.
Another reason to feel hopeful.
And for many families facing cancer, hope begins with a little more time.
