Big interview: Pancreatic cancer survivor given 12 weeks to live on keeping her business alive - and turning her focus to tech

Bryony Thomas

Good morning and welcome to Monday's newsletter. This week marks the last week of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, which runs until the end of November.

She spoke to BusinessLive about being diagnosed with the deadly disease, why there is no point living as if you are dying, and beating the odds to return to the world of business.
