If I do have a short time left, I intend to use it to help someone else avoid this awful disease being diagnosed too late to do anything about it, as I was.

In May 2021, having experienced some bloating and back pain beginning mid-March of the same year (and with no symptoms before then), I was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had spread to my liver and lungs. With a six month course of chemo, I was given 2 years to live. I am 56.

I closed my business of 20 years and grieved for the loss of my job and the impact cancer had on my friends and family. Also, for the first time ever, I listened to what my body was telling me.

Then I started my campaign to raise as much money and awareness of pancreatic cancer and for the charity Pancreatic Cancer UK. My campaign page is Pancreatic Cancer UK - Jenny Oldfield's Pancreatic Cancer Fundraiser - 77 Ways

If I do have a short time left, I intend to use it to help someone else avoid this awful disease being diagnosed too late to do anything about it, as I was.

Having said that, I also hope to make it to 60 years old!

Thanks for listening x

Thank you, Mom, for teaching me to be honest, courteous, appreciative, and loving. Thank you for trying to teach me to be tidy, even though it didn't work. Thank you for teaching me to try to see the best in people.

Sara is now on hormone therapy for the next ten years. She began writing poetry during her treatment to help her cope and found it to be a nice way to connect with other cancer rebels.
