JOIN THE SURVIVOR AND CAREGIVER NETWORK AND HELP OTHERS!!

Are you a survivor of pancreatic cancer or currently caring for a pancreatic cancer patient and would like to lend support to others?  The Survivor and Caregiver Network is a group of volunteers who communicate with other patients and caregivers by phone or email as a source of support, hope, and inspiration.

Volunteers in our Survivor and Caregiver Network receive phone calls and emails from people affected by pancreatic cancer who contact our patient and Liaison Services (PALS) program for support resources and other infomraiton about pancreatic cancer.  Our PALS Associates match callers with volunteers according to the patient's personal situation, such as his or her diagnosis, treatment history, and other factors such as geographic location, gender, and age.

Survivor volunteers in the Survivor and Caregiver Network range from individuals who have had surgery for their cancer to those who were diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, as well as those diagnosed with rare forms of pancreatic cancer.  Survivor volunteers may be currently undergoing treatment or beyond that point in their pancreatic cancer journey.  Our caregiver volunteers also have a range of experiences in caring for differing diagnoses across a variety of relationships.  Whatever your situation, you have valuable experiences to share.  If you are at a point in your journey that you feel you would be able to lend support to others, the Survivor and Caregiver Network may be the right place for you to volunteer and donate your time and efforts.

While volunteers in the Survivor and Caregiver Network are not intended to provide any form of medical advice or treatment recommendations, they are a tremendous source of support and hope to those with whom they connect.  PALS Associates frequently match callers with Survivor and Caregiver Network volunteers as in-person pancreatic cancer support groups are not always available.  Because pancreatic cancer patients, caregivers, and friends find it particularly helpful to speak with someone who has been in a truly similar situation, the Survivor and Caregiver Network is an invaluable resource for the pancreatic cancer community.
