Liverpool Takes on Its Biggest Challenge

The reports today about Liverpool University’s leadership of a large trial of a pancreatic cancer vaccine is very much to be welcomed.

If there was a motto that sums up the city, it is “Think Big”. Just think.

1. Architecturally, it is the Second City of the UK.
2. St. George’s Hall is one of the most magnificent neo-classical buildings anywhere.
3. Liverpool City Centre is a World Heritage Site.
4. It has two cathedrals, one of which is one of the largest in the world in many ways.
5. The Beatles transformed the world of music more than anybody else.

So you can never say the city is full of shrinking violets.

So when Liverpool established itself as a world-class cancer centre, it didn’t take on the easiest of targets.  It concentrated on one of the biggest and morst deadly;pancreatic cancer, which has one of the lowest survival rates.

Now  are we starting to see a small step on the road to a successful fight against this awful disease, which killed my son at the early age of just 37?
