cracked memory stick pro with holiday photos lost!!!?

hey, i just came bak from a once in a lifetime holiday, and i took heaps of life long remembering photos on a memory stick pro duo. we were running out of mem cards, so we decided to bring it to a shop in hong kong to burn it onto a dvd/cd. they said it would be 20 mins, so we walked around, and wen we arrived, they said they didnt have to correct software to burn, so i said ok its fine, but then i opened up my mem card case, and it was cracked!! i tried to put it in, and the digital camera did not recognise the stick!!! i am so upset and angry rite now! all my photos are all gone, i went on a happy holiday and i was thinking about how cool it would be to show friends and family and keep them forever, now there gone!! is there any way to fix it or recover the photos from the card!!!! PLEASE im so desperate!!

the crack it (if u place it right way up,), about 1 third into the stick. it isnt really big, but u can see a bend in it. does anyone know if it is recoverable?? thnx!!!
