Memory of Doug Hanes!

Doug Hanes, was a member of the Allen County Bassmasters Club in Lima, OH.  He had been diagnosed with advanced stages of Pancreatic cancer.

Doug started getting sick last October; after several mis-diagnosis and a few doctors later, blood tests were finally done when he became severely jaundiced. It was then that other tests were ordered, and the mass on his pancreas was found in late December, 2008. He started is aggressive chemotherapy treatments on Thursday, January 22. At this time, surgery for removal is not an option. The mass is surrounding 2 or 3 of his main arteries as well as blood vessels.
