🚨Be aware of the symptoms

[Chronic Pancreatitis Ireland @ChronicPancIRE]

Nov is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
@PancreaticCanUK reminds us of the symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Any concerns, please see your GP. Also, a new diagnosis of diabetes in older people, with weight loss (rather than weight gain), could be first sign.

People are being warned of two earlier signs of #PancreaticCancer that can be spotted despite it being known as a “silent disease”.

Pancreatic cancer was once again brought into the spotlight by the death of Jerry Springer from the disease who had been diagnosed just months ago.

[Pancreatic Cancer Action @OfficialPCA]

Our mission is to improve the survival rates of #pancreaticcancer by ensuring more people are diagnosed early and in time for surgery.

Read more on why we focus on early diagnosis. ⬇️
