My old school friend mum died from pancreatic cancer 2 months ago. She's been suffering from pains at the top of her legs for years but was too scarred to go to the doctor. When it started to get worse her husband and my friend told her that she had to get it checked out, but she collapsed and died at home before they found out the results. The doctor said that it's a type of cancer that they can only diagnose when they run blood tests checking for something else. He said that even if they got the results back beforehand there was nothing he could do for her. She was a lovely women. Always very kind to me when I came to visit and always ensured that we had fun.
