Share your story
Sharing your experience can help others understand what it’s like to have pancreatic cancer or care for someone with pancreatic cancer.
Whether you want to read other people’s stories or tell your own, sharing experiences of pancreatic cancer could help.
These stories provide examples of how people are diagnosed, the treatment they have and how they take care of themselves. The stories are not recommendations about treatment or care. Talk to your medical team about your treatment options.
Stories from people who could not have surgery to remove the cancer.
Stories from families and friends of someone with pancreatic cancer.
Hear from people with rarer types of pancreatic cancer, like pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer.
Sharing your experience can help others understand what it’s like to have pancreatic cancer or care for someone with pancreatic cancer.
This new support service will allow you to connect with others currently affected by pancreatic cancer via groups (such as WhatsApp and Facebook groups).
Share the highs, the lows and everything in between with people who understand, who ‘just get it’.
