November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Symptoms are often vague, leading to late diagnoses. Some possible red flags include:
• Unexplained weight loss
• Abdominal or back pain
• New onset of diabetes or worsening blood sugar control
• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)

This month we raise our voices to shine a light on one of the deadliest cancers — and to push for earlier detection, better treatments, and more support for patients and families.
