Dad told me he’d had a great life. I remember the exact date and time I received a text from my dad asking if he could give me a call. It was 2pm on 23rd February 2024.
He’d been in hospital and said he was ok, but I could tell something was wrong, so I asked again and he started to cry as he told me the doctors have found a tumour in his pancreas and that the cancer had spread to his liver. With pancreatic cancer, I knew that once it had been found, the odds are it’s usually far too late.
Please join me by making a gift today, so families like mine are given more time with their loved ones.
Dad passed away just a few weeks after his diagnosis, in a hospice surrounded by his family.
Despite being the deadliest cancer, research into this devastating disease has been left behind.
Right now, 7 in 10 people with pancreatic cancer are told there is no treatment available. It’s devastating.
Our researchers are working non-stop to discover new treatments to stop pancreatic cancer, but they need your support. What could be a more special way of honouring the memory of your loved one than by donating today.
We know that donating in memory of your loved one is extremely personal and if you chose to remember them in this way, please know how incredible grateful we are.
You could even write a commemorative message on our online dedication wall to honour their memory and read messages from fellow Pancreatic Cancer UK supporters who have done the same.
