My Pancreas 1.50

My Pancreas has been developed by the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Unit as an educational resource for patients facing a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. It serves as a comprehensive guide, offering support from initial referral to treatment, symptom management, and additional resources. The app caters not only to patients but also their families, caregivers, and friends.

The app is divided into five main sections:

1. My Pancreas: Introduces the pancreas, its function, location in the body, and common issues that may arise.
2. My Tests: Provides information on diagnostic procedures typically encountered during the diagnosis process.
3. My Treatment: Details the various treatment options available to patients, such as chemotherapy and surgery.
4. Help & Information: Offers a patient support section with up-to-date care services information, including contact details for services, websites, support centers, links to Pancreatic Cancer U.K. forums, and financial guidance.
5. My Notes: Allows users to record essential information for future consultations with healthcare professionals. Predefined questions can also be saved for discussion during appointments.

My Pancreas strives to empower patients by equipping them with crucial information for their journey.
