To work out the best pancreatic cancer treatment for you, your doctors will look at the type of pancreatic cancer you have and the stage of the cancer. They will also look at other things such as your age, and your general health and fitness.
Your medical team will talk to you about your treatment options. It’s a good idea to have someone with you at this appointment – they can support you and help you remember the conversation. You may also want to think about questions to ask your doctor or nurse.
Whatever your options, having treatment is your decision. It can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to decide anything straight away.
There may be some changes to your treatment because of coronavirus. For example, you may need to have a coronavirus test before having treatment.
Speak to your doctor or nurse about what coronavirus might mean for your treatment.
We’re reviewing our support services and exploring how they can reach more people – we’d love to hear what you think.
