Hayley in Coronation Street has pancreatic cancer.

If you watch Coronation Street, you will know that Hayley, Roy’s wife, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.   The fact that pancreatic cancer is being featured will give this terrible illness some well needed publicity and will help viewers understand some of the symptoms.  Reaching 10 million people in one episode is great publicity.

Without being dramatic, let’s hope it prompts anyone with similar symptoms to see their doctor without delay. Time is of the essence with this awful cancer.
