Death may be a difficult subject for many, but it

Death may be a difficult subject for many, but it is a necessary topic of conversation for most pancreatic cancer patients. While we work towards increased survival rates, we also recognize the importance of advanced care planning when faced with this disease.

Today is #NationalHealthcareDecisionDay, and our partners at @DWDCanada have created an Advance Care Planning (ACP) Kit to help Canadians feel empowered and reflect on their end of life wishes. Learn more and get your free kit by clicking the link in our bio.

If you have metastatic (stage IV)/advanced cancer, or you're a caregiver to someone with metastatic cancer, we want to hear from you!

@ccranorg is conducting a pan-tumor biomarker survey in response to the challenges that patients face in accessing timely biomarker testing results and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). The data gathered through this survey will be used to advocate for timely and equitable access to biomarker testing results, Comprehensive Genomic Profiling and thereby, precision medicines that may help improve patient outcomes in Canada.

Please help us ensure the patient voice is heard by filling out the survey before April 26, 2024 - link in bio. #CCRAN #CancerSurvery #Cancercanada #CGP #Biomarkers #PrecisionMedicine

The news of Princess Catherine's cancer diagnosis

The news of Princess Catherine's cancer diagnosis reminds us how this disease impacts more than just the patient. We are grateful to our partners @wellspringcan for providing our community with the caring support they deserve, and join them in wishing the Princess of Wales the very best as she continues her cancer treatment.

Reposted from @wellspringgta: “Most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis, in a way that’s appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be ok.”

When Catherine, Princess of Wales, announced her cancer diagnosis last week, it sent ripples throughout the globe. It’s an important reminder that cancer doesn’t just impact one person, it impacts an entire family.

Here at Wellspring, we offer family programming that helps people have conversations about cancer with their kids. The Children’s and Parents’ Program offers age-appropriate learning and support for children, while their parents meet in a separate room to receive support, information, and parenting support specific to cancer. Both groups are led by experienced professionals.

You can find more information about this program on our website (link in bio).

We wish the Princess of Wales the very best during her treatment. 💚
