About a year ago(2003), I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in “the morning, and it clearly showed a tumour on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. All the doctors told me was that this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months." Later that evening, I had a biopsy, where they inserted an endoscope down “my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and removed a few cells from the tumour. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now."
