Mary Drake Young was experiencing severe pain in her abdomen when her primary care physician sent her for an MRI.
The MRI revealed a tumor on her distal pancreas and her gastroenterologist referred her to Dr. Jason Maggi, a surgical oncologist at Jersey City Medical Center, an RWJBarnabas Health facility.
“I wasn’t expecting them to say they found a tumor,” said Young, 47, who has been a special education teacher in East Orange since 2001. “I Googled it and the first thing that popped up was pancreatic cancer. Obviously, I was totally distraught and worried about my children, my grandchildren, and my husband because I’m young. I’m not ready to die.”
