I never even knew you could get cancer of the pancreas or what the organ did apart from supply insulin. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 inoperable pc last March, he died in October, 7 months after diagnosis.
Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of UK cancer death with the [b]worst survival rate of all cancers[/b] yet it receives only c1% of research spend, survival rates have not changed in 40 years! We are desperately trying to raise awareness of this relentless disease and there is an online petition to try and ensure the government discusses and increases research spend.
If anyone would please sign the petition and share it wherever you can I'd be very grateful. It closes on 8 April so only a few days left. There are currently 76,911 signatures at last look. Its a big ask but I think we can do it :fingers crossed:
