& Networking Groups
In-Person
Support & Networking Groups
In-person support and
networking groups offer opportunities for people with pancreatic
cancer and their family members to share experiences with others.
Most in-person support groups are guided and facilitated by a professional
counselor, social worker or nurse. Search for a pancreatic
cancer support group or networking group in your state.
Online
Support Groups
For people who do not have a pancreatic
cancer in-person group locally or who prefer to stay at home, online
support groups and message boards are great options. Oftentimes,
online support groups are facilitated by a professional counselor
and offer the same benefits as in-person groups. Message boards
provide a convenient way to post questions or comments and read
others' responses.

Telephone
Support
Connecting with others
over the phone is yet another way of receiving support. Talk
to people who understand what you are going through. Telephone
support groups can help you cope.
