Ever since she can remember they were "just two peas in a pod".

It stayed like that until the day Allan passed away on March 31, 2018.

He died from pancreatic cancer.

When the diagnosis came just a little over a month prior, on February 20, Naomi quit her job to care for her dad.

She was the first to find out about the diagnosis and then passed it on to her mum and the rest of the family.

It was tough, but Naomi was fine with doing it.

"Dad and I were really close like that," she said.

It was for the man who'd do anything for anyone. The man she thinks about every day.

"Hands down, he was the best man you could ever meet," Naomi said.

"He was reserved, he was quiet, he was quirky but if you were ask him to do one thing for you, he'd do it. He'd do it 10 times over. He was the best."

During November, she thinks of her dad even more.

It's a month that has meaning for Naomi now more than ever.

It's Pancreatic and Stomach Cancer Awareness Month.

Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of all major cancers and statistics have not changed significantly in over 40 years, pancare.org.au reads.

And those statistics are tough reading:

Those statistics coupled with her own heartbreak is why Naomi wants to raise awareness about the disease.

There are a range of symptoms.

For Allan, it was a lack of appetite and weight loss, but other things to look out for include fatigue, jaundice, upper abdominal pain and dark urine.

Naomi urged anyone who noticed something wrong - anything - to go get checked.

"If you have the slightest inkling and not sure what it is, don't go to google, go to your doctor," she said.

"In my case it was too late but it doesn't have to be like that in someone else's case."
