If you would like to and are able to donate please do.  ‘Motown Dru’ went to Cyprus to sing. He was then diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and has now had to travel back to Northern Ireland for complex surgery and further treatment.  This has halted his income and so we are sharing this Go Fund Me link in hope kind hearted souls may be able to help. Thank you if you do.

Here are some tips to help you prepare, along with key questions to ask your oncologist.

Before Your Appointment

Pathology reports from any biopsies

Imaging results (CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, or X-rays)

Blood test results

2. Write Down Your Symptoms and Concerns

Your oncologist will ask about your symptoms and how they have progressed. Write down details like:

When symptoms started

How often they occur

Any changes in severity

Factors that make them better or worse

3. Bring a Support Person

Having a trusted friend or family member with you can be invaluable. They can help take notes, ask additional questions, and provide emotional support during the appointment.

4. Prepare a List of Questions

Your first appointment will be packed with information. Writing down questions beforehand ensures you don’t forget to ask important ones. Below are some key questions to consider.

Are there support groups or counseling services available?

Can you refer me to an integrative oncology specialist, nutritionist, social worker, and/ or financial counselor?

Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer to Be Aware Of

Pancreatic cancer can be hard to detect early, but recognizing these signs might help catch it sooner:

Unexplained Weight Loss Losing weight without trying, especially if you're eating normally, can be a red flag.

Jaundice (Yellowing of the Skin or Eyes) A yellow tint to your skin or eyes may signal a problem with the liver or bile duct, often linked to pancreatic cancer.

Abdominal Pain or Discomfort Persistent pain in the upper abdomen or back, especially after eating, is a common symptom.

Loss of Appetite Feeling full quickly or having no appetite can be signs that your digestive system is struggling.

Early on in the course of the illness, patients with pancreatic cancer frequently lack distinct signs. This means that the cancer is often not discovered until much later, either because it has spread from the pancreas to other parts of the body or because it can no longer be removed surgically.

A Comprehensive Guide to Whipple Surgery for Pancreatic Cancer by Dr. Phani Krishna Ravula

The Whipple procedure, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex surgical operation primarily performed to treat pancreatic cancer. It involves the removal of the head of the pancreas, the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine), the gallbladder, and a portion of the bile duct.

This procedure is necessary when tumors are located in the head of the pancreas and have not spread to other organs, allowing for the potential for curative pancreatitis treatment. There are variations of the Whipple procedure, including the classic Whipple and the pylorus-preserving Whipple, which differ in how much of the stomach and surrounding structures are removed. Ultimately, the Whipple procedure can significantly improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with pancreatic cancer.
