(30 Mar 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus052050

A Michigan pancreatic cancer survivor exacted some revenge Wednesday.
Sheila Sky Kasselman used a hammer to smash to pieces a 3D-printed replica of her tumor.
The 75-year-old West Bloomfield resident looked at the 3/4-inch facsimile and said "that little guy created a lot of havoc."
Kasselman, who has been cancer-free for more than 8 years, said the tumor-smashing exercise at the Henry Ford Hospital complex in Detroit was "therapeutic."
Eric Myers, a product designer with Henry Ford Innovation Institute, created the tumor replica using a CT scan of Kasselman's pancreas taken nearly 9 years ago.
Kasselman at first tried to crush the model using a baseball bat, but later opted for the hammer.
Myers says he hopes to have more cancer patients take part in what he's calling the "crushing cancer" program.
