"I was told that i’d be dead by the end of the year"

Meet Keon

"In March 2020 I sold my house and was going to spend some time with family and do a bit of travelling. I had been planning to go to the USA, watch an NBA Lakers game in Los Angeles (a dream of mine), then maybe travel to Central America. Everything was going so well."

"Just a week later, I got the devastating news I had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, with just a 10% chance of survival. I was told I’d be dead by the end of the year."

"I'm not giving up – and so far I’m responding well to chemotherapy."

"Your support of Pancare will Change the Game for me and thousands of other Australians - and basketball fans - facing an upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer."

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers affect the upper digestive system, including the pancreas, liver, stomach, bile ducts and oesophagus. They are known as some of Australia’s toughest cancers as they can be hard to detect and treat.
