Pancreatic cancer victim’s daughter backs campaign to cut waiting times

[Northerner]

The daughter of a man who died with pancreatic cancer after months of delays in his treatment has called for waiting times to be cut to help fight the disease.

William Begley was diagnosed with the condition in March 2016 and died just three months later after it took eight weeks from the point of diagnosis before he had a single chemotherapy session.

Daughter Lynda Murray is now backing a campaign to ensure all pancreatic cancer patients are treated within 20 days.
