Half of people die within three months of diagnosis. Decades of underfunding mean we still don’t have the tests and treatments to tackle this disease. People with pancreatic cancer have been overlooked and ignored for far too long. By donating to my challenge, you're making support available for people now and funding world-leading research.Just £27 could fund a Support Line nurse to answer calls for an hour so no one has to face a diagnosis alone.Pancreatic Cancer UK goes above and beyond for everyone affected by this brutal disease.That’s why I’m fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK. Your donations will bring more breakthroughs through research, more change through campaigning, and more support through our expert nurses. Together, we can bring more than hope to people affected by pancreatic cancer. 💜"}],"type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","nodes":[{"ranges":[{"text":""}],"type":"text"}]},{"type":"paragraph","nodes":[{"ranges":[{"text":"At the beginning of April my dad had a CT scan because his back had been painful. Two weeks later on April 23rd, we were told that there was a tumour in his pancreas, it was attached to veins and a main artery. It was inoperable. My dad had an endoscopy and biopsy taken a few days later. On May 5th he had his first oncology appointment and he was told to gain weight for chemo. 17th May, my dad was admitted to hospital as he had developed ketoacidosis. He stopped eating and found it hard to swallow. He died on the morning of May 24th. On May 23rd in the morning I had fed him, helped to wash and dress him. Family members had been to see him and show their love. In the space of a month, he died. This is a vile disease and the more research we can do into helping detect it sooner, the better. At the top it says my story. This isn't My story; this is the story of family, of friends, of people who knew my dad. This is the story of everyone who has ever lived through diagnosis themselves or for their loved ones"}],"type":"text"}]}]
