Pancreatic Cancer Has a Survival Rate of 8%
Why so low? Pancreatic cancer is often difficult to diagnose. This is because there are no specific, cost-effective screening tests that can easily and reliably find early-stage pancreatic cancer in people who have no symptoms.
These brave warriors and their loved ones deserve better.
Will You Join Our Fight Against the “Silent Killer?”
WE PUT PEOPLE FIRST.
Over the past decade, NPCF has served as a beacon of hope to many, providing over $800,000 in direct financial assistance to patients and their families in need.
Celebrating a Decade of Unwavering Support
The NPCF (founded May 2009) strives to provide quality of life, sustainability and dignity to those we serve. Through our volunteers we provide an opportunity of hope and caring for those afflicted by this devastating disease. We also provide the opportunity for their family members to help fight one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the United States. There is no known cure, however, there are new developments everyday to prolong and sustain the quality of life of the patient.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, we are donating a portion of all sales to NPCF! ? With your support, we can help bring the foundation’s assistance numbers well over $1,000,000.
Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer
Signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer vary and sometimes do not occur until the disease is in an advanced stage. That is why it is so difficult to diagnose and detect.
The signs and symptoms may include:
- Upper abdominal pain
- Lower back pain
- Yellowing of skin and whites of eyes
- Loss of appetite
- Significant loss of weight in the first 30 -60 days
- Depression
- Digestive issues
- Itching
Why CBD?
“Cannabis and hemp can provide great complimentary care products for patients with pancreatic cancer,” says Kimberly Stoll-French, Chapter Development Director of the foundation. “People who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer often experience pain, have trouble sleeping, suffer from nausea and trouble keeping certain foods down, and we encourage patients to try any possible therapy available to them that may help alleviate their suffering and aid in improving their overall wellness.”
“We encourage patients to pursue any therapy that may alleviate their pain in a safe and natural way.
