When the fatigue hit: Early signs before diagnosis
The period before being referred to the first specialist for further investigation.
Husband, son, brother, uncle, survivor of pancreatic cancer.
My name is Jim, and I’m a survivor of pancreatic cancer. Diagnosed in 2022, I underwent surgery in 2023 to remove part of my pancreas and the neuroendocrine tumour located in the head of my pancreas that changed my life. Through strength, support, and determination, I continue navigating this journey.
