Pancreatic Cancer and the NHS

The BBC published a video interview with two pancreatic cancer patients and their doctor. One person is inoperable and is terminal; the other is alive four years post-diagnosis.

The underlying message was that NHS budgets are delaying diagnostic work and that private insurance allowed one person to get treated early enough to survive.

Welcome to our future. It's worth a look.
