Mindy Kaling and “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg discuss pancreatic cancer on Nov. 30, 2020.
PanCAN ambassador and actor, author and producer/director Mindy Kaling appeared on ABC’s “The View” talk show on Monday, Nov. 30, to discuss her work with PanCAN and why she will donate to PanCAN on Giving Tuesday – Dec. 1, 2020.
“PanCAN is incredibly meaningful to me,” Mindy said on “The View.”
She continued, “I’m partnering with PanCAN because this is a devastating illness. My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2011 – she went to the doctor with a backache and was told she had stage IV pancreatic cancer. We had no family history of it, and she was gone eight months later.”
Your gift to PanCAN will fund pancreatic cancer research and the many life-changing programs and services that support patients and caregivers.
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg mentioned that she also wanted to do her part, noting that her friend Patrick Swayze passed away of pancreatic cancer.
