Posted by Colleen Young, Connect Director @colleenyoung, Dec 3, 2019

Welcome to the Pancreatic Cancer group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
This is a welcoming, safe place where you can meet people living with pancreatic cancer or caring for someone with pancreatic cancer. Let’s learn from each other and share stories about living well with cancer, coping with the challenges and offering tips.

I’m Colleen, and I’m the moderator of this group, and Community Director of Connect. Chances are you’ll to be greeted by fellow members and volunteer patient Mentors, when you post to this group. Learn more about Moderators and Volunteer Mentors on Connect.

We look forward to welcoming you and introducing you to other members. Feel free to browse the topics or start a new one.

Pull up a chair. Let's start with introductions.

When were you diagnosed with pancreatic cancer? What treatments have you had? How are you doing?

Thank you Coleen.. I have a wonderful oncologist. Her plan is to target the cancer cells with chemotherapy.. I’ve had the first treatment and am going for the 2nd treatment this Wednesday…
The treatments plans available to pancreatic cancer patients are many.

Thanks so much for your information and concern.

Hello, I’m new to this forum. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on January 2nd. That was the last thing I expected to hear…but I’m confident that the chemo treatments will help me.
I am here to share my experience strength and hope and I hope to have some friends along the way….:pvctom
