It is with heavy hearts that we report the news of yet another life lost to the devastating effects of pancreatic cancer. Alisyn Camerota, a well-known CNN anchor, shared the heartbreaking news that her beloved husband, Tim Lewis, has passed away. Tim was only 58 years old, making his death all the more tragic.
The news of Tim’s passing comes just two years after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The disease, known for its aggressive nature and high mortality rate, took Tim from his loved ones far too soon. As someone who has lost a loved one to this terrible illness, I can empathize with the pain and suffering that Alisyn and her family are going through.
Pancreatic cancer is a cruel and unforgiving disease that often robs families of their loved ones in a short amount of time. My own husband, Bill, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 64 in 2018. I know firsthand the toll that this disease takes on both the patient and their loved ones, and my heart goes out to Alisyn and her family during this difficult time.
While the cause of Tim’s death has not been confirmed, it is clear that his passing has left a void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. As we mourn the loss of yet another life to pancreatic cancer, it is important to remember the impact that this disease has on families all around the world. #CancerSucks
Our thoughts and prayers are with Alisyn Camerota and her family as they navigate this difficult time. May they find comfort in the memories they shared with Tim and the love that will always remain in their hearts.
Pancreatic cancer makes another widow. My Bill died an ugly death at age 64 in 2018, and Alisyn's husband was only 58. #CancerSucks

Pancreatic cancer has once again claimed another life, leaving behind a devastated widow. In 2018, Bill lost his battle with this aggressive disease at the age of 64. Just recently, Alisyn Camerota, a CNN anchor, announced the passing of her husband, Tim Lewis, who was only 58 years old at the time of his death. The heartbreaking news serves as a stark reminder of the devastating effects of pancreatic cancer, a disease that is often diagnosed at a late stage and has a low survival rate.
What is Pancreatic Cancer?
Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. The pancreas plays a crucial role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. When cancer cells form in the pancreas, they can disrupt the normal function of the organ and spread to other parts of the body.
What are the Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer?
Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect in its early stages because it often does not cause symptoms until it has spread to other organs. Common symptoms of pancreatic cancer include abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, and digestive issues.
How is Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosed?
Diagnosing pancreatic cancer typically involves a combination of imaging tests, such as CT scans and MRIs, as well as biopsies to confirm the presence of cancer cells. In many cases, pancreatic cancer is not diagnosed until it has reached an advanced stage, making it more challenging to treat.
What Treatment Options are Available for Pancreatic Cancer?
Treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on the stage of the disease and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. However, the prognosis for pancreatic cancer is often poor, with a five-year survival rate of only around 10%.
How Can Pancreatic Cancer be Prevented?
While the exact cause of pancreatic cancer is unknown, there are certain risk factors that can increase the likelihood of developing the disease, such as smoking, obesity, and a family history of pancreatic cancer. Making healthy lifestyle choices, such as maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption, may help reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
The passing of Tim Lewis serves as a tragic reminder of the devastating impact of pancreatic cancer on individuals and their loved ones. As we mourn the loss of another life to this terrible disease, it is important to raise awareness about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for pancreatic cancer. By educating ourselves and others about this deadly disease, we can work towards finding better ways to detect and treat pancreatic cancer in its early stages, ultimately improving the chances of survival for those diagnosed with this aggressive form of cancer.
