Something quietly changed in England’s E. coli story between 2016 and 2023, and most people didn’t notice.

Pancreatic cancer is the kind of diagnosis that stops time. Whether you’ve heard it from a doctor yourself, watched a family member receive it, or followed a colleague’s quiet, difficult year after it, you know that the words land differently than almost any other cancer news.
