A Survivor’s Story
Peggy Shares Her ExperienceWhen pancreatic cancer survivor Peggy was told there was no hope, she refused to give up and came to CTCA.
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) we understand that pancreatic cancer, as one of the most difficult and complex diseases to treat, requires an aggressive approach. Since the majority of pancreatic cancer patients who come to CTCA are in stage IV of the disease, our clinicians must think innovatively in order to provide promising treatment options.
As a pancreatic cancer patient at CTCA, you have your own care team comprised of cancer experts from multiple disciplines. You and your care team work together to develop and implement a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific diagnosis, treatment goals, and needs.
Your treatment plan includes the latest and most advanced pancreatic cancer treatments and technologies. In addition, because of the nature of the disease and the potential side effects of pancreatic cancer treatment, we know that conventional therapies alone are not enough. Your treatment plan also includes supportive complementary medicine therapies. This combined packages helps you fight the disease and maintain your quality of life as much as possible.
Our clinicians also recognize the importance of addressing conditions other than cancer itself. Diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure) are two common conditions associated with pancreatic cancer. Throughout your pancreatic cancer treatment, your care team will use various diagnostic tests to monitor how your treatment is working and address any co-existing conditions.
