ROLFE PANCREATIC CANCER FOUNDATION

Treatment options can vary based on the stage and location of the cancer. As you explore your options, don’t hesitate to ask your doctor about clinical trials, targeted therapy, and personalized medicine—your care should be tailored to you.

Before your appointments, take a few moments to organize your thoughts and questions, and bring this list along. Start with what matters most to you, and consider bringing a trusted family member or friend for support, note-taking, and an extra set of ears.

You deserve to fully understand your care. Ask questions as often as you need, and if something isn’t clear, it’s always okay to pause and ask for further explanation. Taking an active role in your care—and having others advocate alongside you—is not only okay, it’s powerful.

Use the sample questions as a guide to help you feel informed, confident, and supported.

Explore Second Options

Getting a second opinion after a pancreatic cancer diagnosis is an important and empowering step—and one most doctors support. Because different physicians may recommend different approaches, hearing another perspective can bring added clarity and peace of mind. In turn, it can help you feel more confident in choosing the path that’s right for you and your family.

Most importantly, you don’t have to go through this alone. Our team is here to support you every step of the way. We can help you review your options and connect you with trusted doctors and care providers who can offer additional insight into your diagnosis and treatment—so you feel informed, supported, and cared for.
