If you’re the main support person for somebody who has been diagnosed with #pancreaticcancer in the last 3 months, you can register for the Pancreatic cancer Relatives Counselling and Education Support #PRoCESS Trial. A/P @VanessaBeesley explains more: https://t.co/MhrcPW8NN5

After treatment for #ovariancancer, women want to know when they will feel ‘normal’ again. Our latest scientific research @QIMRBerghofer found most women normalised within 6 months but 2-in-5 never recover. Early support for at risk women is needed. See: https://t.co/hqIRiwi6b6

My talented masters student Tanya Ross @QIMRBerghofer + coauthors have published an insightful paper that found clinical insomnia affects one-in-three women with #ovariancancer and affects their future quality of life. See https://t.co/acFseFXxHc

For the past decade Rachel Neale and I have been studying the devastating affect of pancreatic cancer. Now our team at @QIMRBerghofer UQ QUT & @QCCS4 have been awarded an MRFF grant to trial a Telehealth support service for carers with our partners at the @AvnerFoundation.

Just had a paper published that found #melanoma related anxiety or depression quickly resolves after melanoma excision but one-in-ten people develop new anxiety or depression symptoms that persist. See doi: 10.1007/s11764-020-00885-9 @QIMRBerghofer #survivorship2020

#Pancreaticcancer is devastating. Colleagues and I trialled a nurse-led telephone counselling service to support patients and carers and found it was feasible and highly recommended. Published article at: https://t.co/0LGeRcOPjh @QIMRBerghofer @QCCS4

Apologies for not being able to present yesterday at the Victorian Cancer Survivorship Conference #survivorship2020. I’m recovering from a car accident and am so grateful to be able to stream the conference online. Great initiative @M_Jefford.

[A/Prof Vanessa Beesley @VanessaBeesley]

It was an honour to attend the historic Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation event in Canberra. Well done #AvnerFoundation for bringing together patients, policymakers, researchers and medical professionals. May we create a better future for those affected by #pancreaticcancer.
