Pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery booklet
This booklet is for you if you have been diagnosed with early, localised pancreatic cancer (stage 1 or 2), or told you can have surgery to remove the cancer (operable cancer).
A diagnosis can be a terrible shock, but we are here to help you make sense of it, and guide and support you and your family at every step.
Our two booklets for people recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are tailored to your diagnosis. They contain the key facts, from explaining your diagnosis and treatment options, to how to deal with symptoms.
This booklet is for you if you have been diagnosed with early, localised pancreatic cancer (stage 1 or 2), or told you can have surgery to remove the cancer (operable cancer).
This booklet is for you if you have been diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (stage 3) or advanced cancer (metastatic or stage 4), or if you’ve been told you can’t have surgery to remove the cancer.
Our friendly nurses are only a call away. They are specialists in pancreatic cancer and can talk for as long as you need. From tailored information on treatments, managing symptoms or coping with emotions, they can recommend practical steps and bring comfort and reassurance.
