Pancreatic cancer patient raises awareness and funds in New Zealand
Nyree Smith, a pancreatic cancer patient, has lived seven years beyond her diagnosis, which is typically terminal within months. During Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, she encourages New Zealanders to seek medical attention for symptoms.
Despite her condition, Smith is focused on raising awareness and promoting early detection. She believes that if she can inspire even one person to get tested, her experience will have meaning.
To support her cause, Smith is organizing a garden tour event on November 21 to raise funds and awareness for pancreatic cancer. Tickets for the event are still available.
