Our support

Whenever hope is hard, we are here so that people don’t have to face pancreatic cancer alone.  

We’re here to help people affected by pancreatic cancer make sense of a diagnosis, to offer practical and emotional support and help guide them if they ever feel lost. 

Our friendly specialist nurses are just a phone call or email away. It’s a completely free service and we help thousands of people each year.  

Our nurses are experts in pancreatic cancer and are happy to talk for as long as you like. Whether you have a long list of questions or don’t know where to start, we’re here to help. From tailored information on diagnosis and treatments to managing symptoms, they can help with all the practical things that cancer can throw at you. And if you just need someone to talk to, someone who understands, they can bring comfort, reassurance and help you cope with the emotional impact of pancreatic cancer.    

Contact a nurse

If you, or a loved one, are facing pancreatic cancer, you can call Nicci or one of our other nurses on the Support Line today.
