💜 Thank You Thursday 💜

Today we'd like to say a huge thank you to David Fitzpatrick, his family and everyone involved in this year's Golf Day at Cowglen Golf Club.

The event was held in memory of David's mum, Pat, and brother, Paul, who both sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer, and continues to raise vital funds and awareness to support our work.

We're also incredibly grateful to the Masonic Lodge for their generous donation of £500, presented during the event.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated and helped make the day such a success. Your support helps us continue our mission to improve early diagnosis and save lives.

We'll be sharing more about David's Golf Day in an upcoming e-newsletter, so make sure you're signed up to receive our latest updates: https://bit.ly/4pOohZW

⛳ Inspired by David's incredible support?

Why not host your own golf day for Pancreatic Cancer Action? Gather friends, colleagues or your golf club and help raise funds and awareness to support earlier diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

💜 Indigestion and pancreatic cancer

Most people experience indigestion from time to time, and it is usually nothing to worry about. However, persistent indigestion that does not respond to medication can be a symptom of pancreatic cancer.

You may experience a burning sensation in your chest, bloating, feeling sick, or frequent burping and wind. If these symptoms continue despite treatment from a pharmacy or your GP, it is important to get them checked.

Indigestion is common and can have many causes. But if it is unusual for you, keeps coming back, or occurs alongside other symptoms of pancreatic cancer, don't ignore it.

💙 Let's Change How We Talk About Diabetes

As comes to a close, we're joining the call to challenge assumptions and improve understanding of diabetes.

Diabetes is not always caused by lifestyle choices. It can develop for many different reasons, including pancreatic cancer and pancreatic surgery.

Many people are unaware that new-onset diabetes can sometimes be an early warning sign of pancreatic cancer. Others develop Type 3c diabetes as a result of treatment for pancreatic cancer.

That's why it's so important to avoid judgement, challenge misconceptions and recognise that every person's experience of diabetes is different.

This Diabetes Week, let's change how we talk about diabetes. Let's replace assumptions with understanding and stigma with support.

Together, we can .

As part of , we're raising awareness of an important but often overlooked symptom of pancreatic cancer: unexplained weight loss.

Weight loss without trying is frequently one of the first symptoms people report to their doctor. It can happen even when appetite remains normal and there are no obvious digestive problems.

Research has shown that new-onset diabetes, particularly when accompanied by unexplained weight loss, can be an early indicator of pancreatic cancer.

If you notice clothes becoming looser, unexpected changes in your weight, or have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and are losing weight without trying, it's important to speak with your GP.

💜 goes to our incredible Port of Leith Abseil team!

They faced their fears and took on an unforgettable challenge, abseiling down the world's tallest distillery, all in support of Pancreatic Cancer Action.

Together, they raised an amazing £5,519, smashing their team target of £2,000 and helping us continue our vital work for people affected by pancreatic cancer.

Thank you for your courage, commitment and determination. You truly went above and beyond! 🙌

Too many people living with diabetes face judgement, assumptions and blame.

At Pancreatic Cancer Action, we know diabetes is a complex condition and not the same for everyone. That’s why we’re helping shift the conversation by highlighting something more people need to know:

In some cases, diabetes can be linked to pancreatic cancer.

Many people have heard of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

But have you heard of Type 3c Diabetes?

Type 3c Diabetes happens when the pancreas can no longer produce enough insulin because it has been damaged by a disease or condition such as pancreatic cancer.

Common symptoms can include:
• Feeling thirsty
• Going to the toilet more often
• Unexplained weight loss
• Stomach pain
• Tiredness

This Diabetes Week, we're highlighting a condition that deserves greater awareness among both the public and healthcare professionals.
