It can be a huge shock when you find out someone close to you has pancreatic cancer. Our information can help you understand what to expect.
When a loved one has pancreatic cancer, it can be hard to think about your own needs. But looking after yourself may help you both.
From navigating the healthcare system to helping with symptoms, we explain how you can support someone with pancreatic cancer.
It can be hard knowing how to talk about cancer. But finding ways to communicate can make things easier for you both.
It's best to talk to children as much as possible about what is going on. Several organisations offer support.
One of the best ways you can help is learning about symptoms, how to manage them and who to ask for help.
All our information and support are available for families and carers. They can help you care for your family member, and help you cope.
If a loved one has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, our emails are tailored to help you get the information and support you need.
A carer is anyone who looks after a family member of friend, unpaid, and who that person couldn’t manage without. Download the booklet, or order a printed copy.
