Recognise the symptoms for World Pancreatic Cancer DayIt is easy to miss Margaret and the charities I raise awareness with, Pancreatic Cancer UK and Pancreatic Cancer Action, are working hard to get GPs and all health professionals to recognise the symptoms. It can be very frightening to have tests but better than not.ViewDate:

Recognise the symptoms for World Pancreatic Cancer DayThank you for highlighting the symptoms of pancreatic cancer. I was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer in 2013 after having severe backache, weight loss, indigestion, abdominal pain and feeling of being full after just a mouthful of food. Fortunately I was diagnosed early before the cancer had spread and responded well to chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. The tumour shrank but remained inoperable. I know I am very lucky to still be well as too many people are mis diagnosed or their symptoms are ignored completely.ViewDate:

Are we winning the battle against cancer?November is pancreatic cancer awareness month and across the UK building are being lit in purple to raise awareness of this, the 5th biggest cancer killer. Only 5% of patients survive five years and only 1% ten years. This has not changed in 40 years. Patients have symptoms which are missed or mis diagnosed by their GP and are not diagnosed until it is too late for treatment. Only 3% of cancer funding goes to pancreatic cancer. Without Pancreatic Cancer UK and Pancreatic Cancer Action there would be little hope of any improvement and outcome for patients.
