(Timaria Law)
How likely are you able to get affected by pancreatic cancer?
(Timaria Law)
Charities
- Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund- http://www.pcrf.org.uk/
- Cure Pancreatic Cancer- http://www.lustgarten.org/
- Pancreatic Cancer Action Network- https://www.pancan.org/
Why should we donate to the charities?
(Timaria Law)
Treatment
- Cost: 50,000-200,000
- Option available: You could get 95% of your pancreas removed and the extra 5% is used for “insulin production”. In order to live you have to get insulin shots and pills daily.
- Survival Rate: 18-20 Months
- Limitation to life after: After diagnosed you have to make healthier choices, eat better, Rest, fatigue, and exercise
- Support Groups: If you need any support join this group for 15 weeks 24/7
- http://www.cancercare.org/support_groups/40-pancreatic_cancer_caregiver_support_group
- Another group is ACOR which was made to help with support.

Genetic Link
The gene is BRCA2, and the chromosome affected is #12 It does not affect your chances of getting the cancer. It is a Frameshift mutation, a deletion of one base pair.
(Noah Fine)
External causes
Pancreatic cancer cannot be prevented, due to not knowing the exact cause. But, you can avoid the risk factors to lower your risk of getting that cancer.The major risk factors are: smoking, obesity, and diabetes.
