Being diagnosed with pancreas cancer can be a very trying experience, not only for the patient, but also for family and friends. It can be difficult to adjust to see someone you love go through chemotherapy and other treatments which may drastically change their appearance and quality of life. One of the best ways for everyone to cope is to meet with others who have either gone through, or are currently experiencing the same things. There are many different avenues for finding support in the community. Talking and being able to express your worries and fears to a sympathetic ear can help to ease this period.
