Story

Our dad was diagnosed at start of jaunaury with pancreatic cancer, unfortunately by the time it was found dad was too weak to have any operation or chemotherapy, as a family along with dad we decided to go home and take what time we had left with him, then on February 13th dad had a fall at home, he was taken to hospital and a scan of his head showed the cancer had spread, with that we got dad home with Marie curie 24 hour care, where he was cared for until he peacefully passed away with all his family around him.

This cancer spreads and kills far too fast as its normally detected at late stage which doesn't give the person a chance to fight it, this is why more needs to be done to detect it quicker.
