Topic context

Understanding pancreatic cancer

A pancreatic cancer diagnosis is often serious from the first conversation, because it is frequently found at an advanced stage. People face difficult treatment, pain, changes in eating and weight, and hard discussions about time and priorities.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with pancreatic cancer

Peer support can help with pancreatic cancer because the people closest to you are frightened too, and it can be hard to be honest with them. A group gives you a place to speak freely and to think about what matters most to you.

Inside the room

What pancreatic cancer groups often cover

  • Taking in a serious diagnosis
  • Eating, weight loss and low energy
  • Conversations with family about the future
  • Finding good days during treatment

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
