Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas, an organ that lies behind the lower part of the stomach. Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage because symptoms typically do not appear until the disease is advanced. Managing symptoms, coping with side effects of treatment, and dealing with the emotional impact of a serious diagnosis are common struggles faced by the patients. Our pancreatic cancer support group provides a compassionate community for patients and their loved ones. We offer resources on treatment options, symptom management, and emotional support.
