A pancreatic cancer diagnosis can feel confronting. It often arrives unexpectedly, bringing with it unfamiliar terms, urgent decisions, and a whirlwind of emotions, all while you're still trying to understand what it means.
This page is here to support you through those early days, whether you’ve just been diagnosed, or are supporting someone close to you. Every section has been reviewed by medical experts and people with lived experience. There’s no set order or way to begin, take in what feels useful, when the time is right.
