great, another test that'll be free in 20 years while we all die waiting

Cameron Diaz2026-07-23T22:30:00.000Z

oh yeah ANOTHER blood test. just what we need, more false positives and anxiety

Morgan Lee2026-07-23T23:02:00.000Z

yeah nah, false positives aren't great but dying is worse mate

Sage Lawson2026-07-23T22:42:00.000Z

about bloody time. lost my uncle to panc cancer last year. if this works, it's a game changer

Eva Anderson2026-07-23T23:09:00.000Z

facts. the cynicism is exhausting. good on otago uni for trying

Ella Thompson2026-07-23T23:01:00.000Z

spent my lunch break reading this. honestly if it catches it early, that's huge. pancreatic is a silent killer

hope the funding doesn't get gutted by the next govt. typical nz: great research, no rollout

Noah Bennett2026-07-23T23:50:00.000Z

what a load of shit. they've been saying 'five years away' for decades

Ella Thompson2026-07-23T23:57:00.000Z

lol cope. you probably think vaccines cause 5g too

Cameron Diaz2026-07-24T00:03:00.000Z

meanwhile my gp can't even get me a referral in under 6 months. but sure, a blood test'll fix everything

Sage Lawson2026-07-24T00:43:00.000Z

get stuffed. some of us have actually seen this disease up close

Sage Lawson2026-07-24T00:11:00.000Z

jeez some of you are miserable. this is literally research to save lives. have some h'ope

Noah Bennett2026-07-24T00:25:00.000Z

same to you, keep waiting for that magic test that never comes

Ella Thompson2026-07-24T00:18:00.000Z

ffs the negativity. yes the system is slow, but this is still progress. my dad survived bc of early detection

Cameron Diaz2026-07-24T00:57:00.000Z

oh wow one anecdote fixes everything 🙄 i'm allowed to be skeptical
