Whole-Person Healing: Navigating Pancreatic Cancer with a Holistic Approach

What is Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that affects the pancreas, which is a gland located behind the stomach and in front of the spine. The pancreas plays a vital role in the digestive system by producing enzymes that help break down food and hormones that regulate blood sugar levels. Pancreatic cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the pancreas grow and divide uncontrollably, forming a tumor. It is a serious and often deadly disease, as it can be challenging to detect in its early stages and typically spreads quickly to other parts of the body.
