Here’s one of the reasons I chose to be on the Board of NIPANC. My husband John lived 2 years 11 months following initial diagnosis. He was 47 years old. The stats for NI are devastatingly low ⤵️
The statistics on Pancreatic Cancer in Northern Ireland are truly shocking
Only 1% of people in Northern Ireland diagnosed with
