During #NationalCaregiverMonth, we want to express

During #NationalCaregiverMonth, we want to express our gratitude and respect to those who care for someone facing pancreatic cancer. Whether it’s holding a hand during treatment, managing daily tasks, or simply being there; caregivers show up with a resilience that often goes unseen. But the emotional, mental, and physical toll is real, and rarely talked about.

It’s why we offer free support services to anyone affected by pancreatic cancer - including caregivers. Our peer support volunteers are Canadians who’ve walked a similar path, offering not only compassion, but real understanding.

Today, we honour the strength, love, and legacy of mothers.

For many, Mother’s Day is a time of celebration. For others, it is a day marked by grief and a quiet rage - especially for those who have lost a mother to pancreatic cancer.

At Pancreatic Cancer Canada, we are driven by the stories of incredible women - mothers whose lives were cut too short and whose legacies power the work we do every day.

Join us, honor a mother in your life by making a gift in her name. Together, we will work toward survival, not sympathy.

Facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis is overwhelmi

Facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis is overwhelming, and the emotional toll it takes often goes unseen. Many patients and their loved ones feel they have to stay strong, hide their pain, or put on a brave face to protect those around them. But no one should have to mask what they’re going through.

As part of @cmhanational's #UnmaskingMentalHealth campaign, we’re joining the call to look beyond the surface and recognize the emotional weight people carry. Whether you're living with this disease or supporting someone who is, your mental health matters. From peer support to monthly support groups and short-term counselling, we offer compassionate, judgment-free services at no cost. Learn more on our website. #MentalHealthWeek
