I am so sorry about your very sad loss, it is so shocking in someone so young. I lost my beloved sister on Monday of this dreadful disease and are having her burial this Friday where we are hoping to raise some money to go towards helping get people diagnosed much quicker than it has been. Will definately sponsor you later but have a busy morning ahead with preparations etc for Friday.Well done for doing Race for Life and raising monies for pancreatic action. All the best. Lorna x

I am so very sorry to read of the sad loss of your gorgeous friend. I lost my husband to PC in December 2009 aged 48 and he lost his own mother to the same cancer when he was just 8 and she was only 27 so I understand your pain. Pancreatic cancer is a cruel cancer in that it is so difficult to detect and it is long overdue for an increase in the funding which the Government allocate to it, We are trying to make a change in this respect - you may already be aware of the epetition but, if not, here is the link. We need to find 100,000 people to sign it before November 2012 in order to try and get a debate in Parliament. Perhaps you would be kind enought to sign and also share the link amongst your friends to help us get to our goal. We also have a Facebook page called Pancreatic Cancer Petition which we keep updated with the progress.
