[Pancreatic Cancer UK @PancreaticCanUK]

Today the public has rallied behind us as we have powerfully demonstrated the devastating impact of #PancreaticCancer in the UK.

It is unacceptable that 797 people die of this cruel disease every month. We need to do more.

Early detection is vital to improve survival rates.

[Pancreatic Cancer UK @PancreaticCanUK]

It’s #WorldPancreaticCancerDay tomorrow and we wanted to get in there early to remind you about the symptoms of pancreatic cancer and what to look out for.

Great to hear. From someone working within this field, it feels like pancreatic cancer is somewhat forgotten about compared to other tumour types despite its prevalence and dismal prognosis #pcuk

[Pancreatic Cancer UK @PancreaticCanUK]

Thank you so much @PauletteHamilto for raising the shocking survival rates of #PancreaticCancer in #PMQs today. We're glad to hear @Keir_Starmer acknowledge the seriousness of the deadliest cancer & the need to speed up diagnosis & treatment - we'll keep pushing for this 💪

Last year, a young man named Harry wrote me a letter about what it’s like to live with a stutter. Tonight, I met him and his family in Milwaukee and shared some techniques I use to overcome mine.

My message to Harry was simple: don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do.

@geraintjohn_ Sending you and your family lots of love. My dad died of pancreatic cancer two weeks ago, I listened to your podcasts on Grief Works and your story really touched me ❤
