💜 November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month 💜

Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest cancers to detect early, and many people don’t experience symptoms until the disease is advanced. Raising awareness can help support earlier detection, research, and hope for better outcomes.

Know the signs:
• Abdominal or back pain
• Unexplained weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• New-onset diabetes
• Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)

This month, we honor the fighters, remember those we’ve lost, and stand with families and caregivers.
Early awareness saves lives.
