Ask me anything about… living with pancreatic cancer

In this special episode of our podcast, we bring you a recording of a live 'Ask Me Anything (AMA)' event held by our Pancreatic Cancer Programme for World Pancreatic Cancer Day on the 17th November 2022. The AMA session saw specialists discussing the broad supportive aspects of living with pancreatic cancer, whilst also answering questions that were submitted by members of the public. If you have a question that you would like us to answer in a future podcast episode, or if you have ideas for topics that you would like us to discuss in a future series, please let us know by visiting our website: www.crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/podcast.
