Read our information on managing plans about your future care
This information is for people with pancreatic cancer that can’t be cured. It explains how to plan for your care in the future. This is called advance care planning.
About this webinar:
Living with pancreatic cancer brings many challenges — and you don’t have to face them alone. Join us for an informative session designed to help you understand the practical and financial support available to you and your loved ones.
During this free webinar, we covered:
- When thinking about practical support, what should you consider? From income support to everyday practical help
- Financial benefits you may be entitled to
- Planning for the future
- Who can help and how to reach them when you need support
Whether you’ve just received a diagnosis, are living with pancreatic cancer, or supporting a loved one, this session is here to help you feel more informed, supported, and in control.
During this session we discussed our peer support service, Circles, which allows you to connect with others going through something similar. We know a pancreatic cancer diagnosis can feel isolating, and so with Circles, you have the chance to join an online group to connect with other people whose lives have also been impacted by pancreatic cancer.
If you’re interested in finding out more about Circles before the webinar, visit our dedicated page.
