Friends, family, and the Cathedral Prep community gathered at the Hagerty Family Events Center to honor the legendary Pat Czytuck—many students referred to him as Coach Czy—as he battles stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

The PAC-MANN test was able to differentiate — 98% of the time — between the blood of someone with pancreatic cancer and the blood of someone who doesn’t have the disease. When used alongside the existing CA 19-9 test, it was able to diagnose early-stage pancreatic cancer with 85% accuracy.

After realizing that a stronger support system would have helped me emotionally and spiritually in my cancer journey, I committed myself to being there for my cousin.
