Pancreatic Cancer Thriver
Alicia is a passionate life enthusiast whose perspective was profoundly transformed by her experience with Stage 3 Pancreatic cancer in April 2021. There were ups and downs every step of the way, there were many teachings and challenges. She had 7+ hour robotic Whipple surgery with a very challenging recovery followed by chemotherapy. During her treatment and recovery Alicia adopted all 10 of the Radical Remission Healing Factors. She believes that if cancer hadn’t knocked on her door, she would have never changed. She never would have felt so much happiness by watching a sunset or a sunrise, sharing experiences in the physical with the people she loves, or the simple pleasures in life like a great cup of warm tea in her hands on a chilly morning.
Today, Alicia cherishes her time with Picasso, her beloved horse, and enjoys invigorating walks and heartwarming conversations with her dog, Tequila-Pepper. However, her greatest joy comes from sharing every day with her husband, Per, as they navigate life's journey together as co-conspirators.

Alicia’s story is incredibly moving, especially the way she found new appreciation for everyday moments and the people and animals she loves. Her positive outlook and resilience really stand out, and it reminds me how much Scary Teacher 3D also turns ordinary settings into unexpected, memorable adventures.
It is amazing that Dinosaur Game remains so enjoyable after countless attempts, thanks to its simple design, unpredictable challenges, and competitive scoring system!
I really enjoyed reading Alicia’s perspective on finding joy in the simple moments and appreciating time with loved ones. On a lighter note, I like having little bits of entertainment during free time too, and Subway Surfers Online is a fun way to unwind for a few minutes. It’s simple, relaxing, and easy to pick up whenever you need a quick break.
