Holding onto hope: Stephanus Breytenbach full interview
Stephanus Breytenbach has survived his two-week terminal pancreatic cancer prognosis by three and a half years. Though still stage 4, Stephanus has a good quality of life. Some politicians in the UK have argued that pancreatic cancer patients and those with less than two weeks left to live should be able to “rush” into assisted suicide, with people being given drugs to kill themselves just two days after a diagnosis.
Stephanus’s story shows that we should never give up hope. Every life is valuable and worth living. Hopelessness is not the answer.
