2020 has been a challenging year for all of us and the lead up to the holidays can be a particularly hard time emotionally and financially. It can also be a time where we think about our legacy and making memories with our families. This webinar is intended to help people with pancreatic cancer and their families find and access practical, financial and emotional support services to help you through the holiday season.

This webinar will feature presentations from Cancer Council and it's about us.

Chelsey Upston, Clinical Nurse Specialist at Cancer Council will discuss the role of the 13 11 20 cancer nurses as a resource to access cancer-related advice, programs and support services. She will give a brief overview of Cancer Council’s emotional and practical support programs and how people affected by cancer can access them.

It’s about us is a not for profit charity that provides a free digital support tool for anyone affected by cancer. This unique template-based book enables one to document memories, feelings, emotions and important messages in a beautiful personalised way. Jo Marx, (Co-Founder) will be discussing the cathartic benefits of writing as therapy and sharing how the free digital book can be accessed as well as how the accompanying workshops are run.
