Do you have indigestion that is not responding to medication?

It may be nothing serious, but if it persists you should contact your GP. 💜

See more below and remember, we are brining our communities together so please follow Pancreatic Cancer Action for all the latest updates.

💜 Is your indigestion becoming a regular occurrence?

We all experience indigestion from time to time, but did you know that persistent indigestion can sometimes be a symptom of pancreatic cancer?

You might notice a burning sensation in your chest, bloating, feeling sick or discomfort after eating. While these symptoms are common and usually have other causes, indigestion that keeps coming back or isn't improving with medication shouldn't be ignored.

If something feels unusual for you or your symptoms aren't going away, speak to your GP.

This we want to remind our community that you dont have to face Pancreatic Cancer alone. 💜

Follow Pancreatic Cancer Action to hear the latest PC info, news and updates.

💜 A pancreatic cancer diagnosis affects more than physical health.

For people living with pancreatic cancer and their loved ones, waiting for answers, navigating treatment and facing uncertainty can take a toll on mental wellbeing. For those who have lost someone, grief can continue long after their loved one has died.

That’s why support matters.

At Pancreatic Cancer Action, we’re committed to helping people affected by pancreatic cancer access trusted information and support, while working to improve early diagnosis and give families more time together.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we’re thinking of everyone living with pancreatic cancer, supporting a loved one or navigating grief, and remembering all those we have lost. 💜

You don’t have to face it alone.

💜 Pain or discomfort in the upper part of your tummy?

Upper abdominal pain or discomfort – usually felt above the belly button and below the breast area - can sometimes be a symptom of pancreatic cancer. For some people, the pain may also spread through to the back.

Tummy pain is common and can have many causes. But if it's persistent, getting worse, unusual for you, or you're experiencing it alongside other symptoms, don't ignore it.

Speak to your GP or call NHS 111 to get it checked.

Today would have been Shirley’s birthday. Read her story below, and learn about the wonderful work her family has done in her memory. 💜

Today would have been Shirley’s birthday. 💜

Her family remember her as “the bubbliest person” who always had a smile on her face, no matter how she felt.

After Shirley died from pancreatic cancer in January, her sister Audrey, brother-in-law George and niece Amber took on a charity abseil in her memory. Together, they raised an incredible £2,800 to support our work.

On her birthday, we’re sharing Shirley’s story, as told to us by her family, in the hope that more people will recognise when symptoms persist or change and seek medical advice.

Happy birthday, Shirley. We’re thinking of everyone who loves and misses you today. 💜

💜 Could that persistent pain in the middle of your back be telling you something?

Mid-back pain or discomfort – around where a bra strap would sit – can sometimes be a symptom of pancreatic cancer.

It may come and go and, for some people, can feel better when leaning forward.

Back pain is incredibly common and is usually caused by something else. But if the pain is new, persistent or unusual for you, don’t ignore it – speak to your GP.
