<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13px;">Nicki’s Smile was set up in memory of Nicki Blake who lost her battle to Pancreatic Cancer on the 11th November 2010, aged just 33, leaving behind her devoted husband Dan and three year old son, Joshua.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13px;">Nicki’s beautiful personality and smile were taken from her family and friends too early. She never complained about her illness and went about her everyday life as a wife, mother to Joshua and devoted primary school teacher.</span><span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"><span style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"><span style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"><span style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: FSAlbert;"><span style="outline-width: 0px; font-size: small; vertical-align: baseline; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Tragically the cancer had already spread from the pancreas to her liver and bones and she was therefore inoperable. She bravely fought the illness, enduring numerous cycles of chemotherapy, endoscopies and targeted radionuclide therapy under the specialist multi-disciplinary team at the Royal Free Hospital.</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13px;">With improved awareness of how to identify symptoms, doctors could have requested an ultrasound/abdominal CT. This would almost certainly have shown a tumour in the head of her pancreas that would have more than likely been suitable for surgery. Nicki would still be alive today.</span></p>
