Living Beyond Pancreatic Cancer

John McNeur, a Darwin-based clinician, discovered his own stage four pancreatic cancer during a health workshop he was leading—prompting him to turn his diagnosis into a mission to help others. Facing a grim prognosis, he’s now focused on “living with and beyond” cancer, creating local resources and raising over $13,000 for research. Pancreatic cancer is Australia’s third-leading cause of cancer death, with only 13% surviving five years—and the Northern Territory has the nation’s highest rates. John urges early testing, advance planning, mental health care, and self-advocacy, reminding listeners: it’s still their body, their journey.
