How do you cope when first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer?

Aloha! Getting this diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and those feelings are completely natural. Many community members find it helpful to focus on one step at a time - connecting with their medical team, learning about treatment options, and leaning on support from family, friends, and fellow patients who understand this journey. This community is here for you, and sharing experiences with others who've walked similar paths can provide comfort and practical insights during this challenging time.

I'm sure you're scared as can be. Look at all options. Consider seeing a naturopathic doctor and TMC acupuncture. I'm one year past onset of symptoms and still wondering how I could have seen them and not sought help immediately. I'm in Chemotherapy with stage 2B.

Fear only helps the cancer. Go forward with a stiff upper lip and all the strength you have. You'll pull through for sure.
