Patient and carer guidebooks
Guidebooks for patients and carers
Find pancreatic cancer guidebooks for patients, families and carers at every stage of the journey, created by the Jreissati Pancreatic Centre at Epworth.
A pancreatic cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. No one should have to navigate it alone. These are resources for patients, families and carers affected by pancreatic cancer. They have been created by the Jreissati Pancreatic Centre at Epworth with the knowledge and insights of healthcare professionals and people with lived experience.
About the guidebooks
These booklets provide general information about pancreatic cancer. They are not intended to replace advice from your treating team or other qualified professionals. You should always speak with your doctor about decisions that may affect your health. If you require legal, financial or psychological support, we encourage you to seek advice from appropriately trained specialists.
Every effort has been made to ensure the information is accurate at the time of publication. However, evidence and clinical guidance relating to cancer care are continually evolving. The Jreissati Pancreatic Centre at Epworth is not responsible for any loss, injury or damage resulting from reliance on this material.
The Jreissati Pancreatic Centre at Epworth thanks our Community Advisory Panel (Anna Cook, Anna Kalla, Kelly Pollock, John Clements, Julie Loft, Michelle Lewien) and healthcare professionals whose knowledge and insights were vital to the creation of these guidebooks.
These resources are supported by the Victorian Government through the Victorian Cancer Agency, and the Epworth Medical Foundation.
