The UCI Health pancreatic cancer support group is open to those living with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis and their loved ones. We aim to provide an open and accepting space to share experiences, questions, fears and support with others who "get it." Topics include coping strategies, treatment planning, diet, supplemental medicine and relationships. 

Cost: free to attend

Meetings are typically held on the first Tuesday of every month from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. via Zoom. You will receive a Zoom link via email before each meeting.
