The Pancreatic Cancer activists congregate over Twitter to provide an exclusive

question and answer session - all about pancreatic cancer

This Friday

22 June 2012

, Pancreatic Cancer Action are hosting a special and

unique event. Taking to the Twitter-o-sphere, the cancer experts are providing

an extraordinary question and answer session that is open to the wider Twitter

populous. Coined,

Let's Talk About

, the event aims to provide a very different

approach to pancreatic cancer support. Whether you are currently living with

pancreatic cancer, supporting a friend or relative with the cancer or simply

have a question relating to pancreatic cancer, ask Pancreatic Cancer Action

this Friday.

The Q&A day is designed to help and support those who are seeking advice, a

word of encouragement or a virtual hug from those who know what living with

the cancer is like. Pancreatic Cancer Action also aim to provide information to

those who are interested in pancreatic cancer or need pointing in the right

direction for further assistance regarding concerns or anxieties.

Pancreatic cancer claims so many lives every year in the UK alone but the

disease, although prolific in the medical and charity sectors, continues to reside

in a grey area socially.

Let's Talk About

aspires to start talking about the cancer

in a different, more approachable way.

The Q&A provides a rare opportunity to ask a select group of cancer experts

anything relating to pancreatic cancer - how does it start, is it genetic, what are

the survival rates, can animals contract the disease, what the top five hospitals

for pancreatic cancer - and receive live answers.

The event takes place on

22 June 2012

and is split into three 1 hour slots:

9am

,

1pm

and

4:30pm

. Those who wish to ask a question should be logged into

Twitter and use the following Twitter handles:

Hosted by Pancreatic Cancer Action the live sessions are pancreatic cancer

exclusive and are intended to raise awareness and generate more conversation

surrounding the disease, both online and off-line.
