Pancreatic cancer patient stories

Retired lab manager Peter Breaden, who lives in Southport, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2010. He took part in ESPAC-4, a Cancer Research UK-funded clinical trial that has led to a call for a new standard treatment for people with pancreatic cancer who have had surgery. "It was very satisfying to take part in something that was so successful - I found out that the combination of drugs I was given almost doubled the number of people surviving five years after the operation, compared to using one of the drugs alone."
