Binley Woods On-line is campaigning for better awareness of Pancreatic Cancer, not just today,
not just in November 2011 which was Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, but until the detection and survival rate for this
disease is improved. Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer death in the UK. Pancreatic cancer has the worst
survival rate of all cancers. 5-year survival is only 3%. This figure has not changed in over 40 years while deaths from many
other cancers declined.
An e-petition has been set up. Please sign it. You can find by clicking on
Improve Early Detection and Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Please also download the Five pre-written letters to The Prime Minister, The Deputy Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Health,
Your MP and Leader of the Opposition.
All you need to do is write your own address at the top and sign it, and
additionally for your own MP add his
or her address [4]. Alternatively, you can email them via
WriteToThem using this pre-written content for you to 'copy and paste' into the on-line form.
This can be found at Lists of MPs.
Of course if you are lucky enough to have as your MP one of the MPs to whom you are writing, then you won't need this!
For the sake of a few stamps and envelopes plus a few minutes of your time, you can make a real difference to the survival of people
with Pancreatic cancer.
