Living with pancreatic cancer

It can be difficult to cope practically and emotionally with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. There are things you can do and people and groups who can help you cope.

Many people with pancreatic cancer lose weight and they can become diabetic. They usually also need to take pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) to help them digest their food.

There are many organisations, support groups and other resources to help you, your friends, family and carers cope with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
