We have information about what may happen in the last few months of life. We explain the symptoms people with pancreatic cancer may get towards the end of their life and how these are managed. There is also information about how to get the care and support you might need, planning your future care and information for family members.
You may find some of this information upsetting or difficult to read. Not all of it may be relevant to you at the moment – use the links below to find the information you need.
If you have any questions, speak to your doctor or nurse.
You can also speak to our specialist nurses on our confidential Support Line. This can be a very difficult time, and they can answer your questions and talk through any worries you may have. They can also support families and carers.
