Walking for Jason Mountfort
Walking for Jason Mountfort
Story
In May this year, we lost our beloved Jason to pancreatic cancer at the age of 47, just eight months after being diagnosed.
Jason was the heart of our family. Quick witted, kind hearted and protective, he was a loved husband, adored father, step-father and loyal friend.
After embarking on the trip of a lifetime to the UK in September last year, Jason was admitted to hospital with severe abdominal pain. Despite initial investigations showing no true cause, we knew something wasn’t right and demanded a CT scan which showed a tumour on his pancreas. We quickly returned home to Australia for Jason to commence treatment but were confronted with the challenge to navigate a medical system that treated Jason with pity and provided little hope in the fight against this horrible disease.
Despite Jason receiving a terminal diagnosis, we were determined to enjoy whatever time we had left and create a positive environment for Jason as he underwent treatment. We maintained a positive mindset and requested that anyone interacting with Jason also adopted an uplifting and positive attitude.
After our experiences with Jason, we’re determined to make sure no one walks alone. At times we felt confused, frustrated and isolated as we sought information specific to pancreatic cancer. Thankfully, organisations like Pancare Foundation, helped us navigate this difficult time but there needs to be more funding to make better progress.
While there needs to be a breakthrough in diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer, we also want to see improvements in the information available to families as they navigate living with the disease. We are also passionate about advocating for a strong patient-centered voice that is empowering and uplifting for the patients and the families that support them.
Whilst the statistics may be poor, there is always hope and that’s the positive message we need to hear more of.
Join us as we walk in hope for others living with pancreatic cancer and in loving memory of Jason on Sunday 13 October at Pancare's Perth Walk for Hope.
