After losing both his wife to pancreatic cancer - she was initially told it was just IBS - Peter Kirkman is pushing to raise awareness of the illness and help charity Pancreatic Cancer UK roll out a groundbreaking screening test.
Peter, 75, had been with wife Pam for more than thirty years when, in 2015, she was diagnosed with cancer. They were living in Scotland at the time. Like many, Pam's pancreatic cancer was diagnosed very late, and it was inoperable. She died 10 months later aged just 63.
Not long after, Peter saw a close friend and that friend's sister died due to the disease too.
