Share your story

Sharing your story with us enables us to help raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and remind others that they are not alone in their journey. But it also allows us to evaluate the research we should support and fund, the educational resources to develop for health care professionals and what changes to campaign for the government.

People respond to people. It helps to know you're not alone.

Still, it also inspires people to either advocate harder for themselves if they're experiencing symptoms.

People experience different symptoms, and people who are fit and healthy can develop pancreatic cancer. People visit physiotherapists, nutritionists or seek alternative therapies before visiting their GP.

We want to know more about the journeys of those affected by pancreatic cancer. No piece of information will be too small, insignificant or irrelevant.

Your voice matters more than you know. And we want to amplify your voice alongside many others like you!
