“I kissed his hand and watched as he slipped away. It was peaceful, but the pain of that moment will never leave me.”

Precious Banks lost her husband Stuart to pancreatic cancer just 20 days after his diagnosis in 2022. This is Precious’ story of how she watched her husband waste away, and how he was misdiagnosed until it was too late.

“Sarah was aware of pancreatic cancer because she had lost her dad to the disease. The problem was more with convincing her GP that she was seriously ill. GPs need to be more aware. They need to wake up, be more alert and listen to people.”

Sue Nicholls’ daughter Sarah died of pancreatic cancer in February 2024 at the age of 49. Sue reflects on Sarah’s symptoms and how they were missed by doctors, as well as finding strength through fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer Action.

“I’m a changed person. I’m not the same person I was a year ago before I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I don’t know who I am yet, but I am changed forever. Now I want to give something back because I’ve got a second chance at life.”

Michael Parry recently received the all-clear one year after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He tells us about his experience over the past year, the significant role his GP played in his prognosis, and the importance of never losing hope.

“Alison died just three weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My hope is that at some point, in the not-too-far future, you, your partner, your Mum, Dad or anybody you know, or love will have a much better prognosis than my beloved Alison did.”
