Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. It's often called a “silent killer,” as early symptoms can be subtle and easily overlooked.

Key signs and symptoms may include:
• Persistent stomach or mid-back pain
• Unexplained weight loss
• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
• Changes in stool
• Loss of appetite or digestive issues
• Sudden onset of diabetes

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait and talk to your healthcare provider. Recognizing the signs early can make all the difference. 💜

🌼 This month, we honor our Daisy Award recipient – Trey! 🌼

Honored for his compassion and dedication to every patient he cares for. 💛

Here’s what one patient shared:

"My family was sent an angel to take our hurt as we watched over our grandmother during her stay before hospice. We had two days to say goodbye. I traveled 16 hours from France to visit my dear grandmother, and arrived after midnight when I met our angel. He brought me fresh coffee and plenty of water, so we could exchange our words of endearment and then I could hold her hand until she was rested to share again. Our family was in shock with the news of relapse of cancer, terminal, and hospice. Trey held us close and was attentive to each visitor's needs, which kept our family together while we waded through deep waters of forgiveness, acceptance and uncertainty. He listened to our happy memories and current hardships of sharing our limited time with all family members as we wanted to keep her to ourselves a little longer."
