Step Five: Build Your Support System

No one should face pancreatic cancer alone.

The challenges of pancreatic cancer are significant, but a strong support network—including family, friends, and Rolfe Foundation—can make a difference. Having someone you trust, whether a spouse, family member, or friend, to accompany you to doctor visits and talk openly about your treatment options can be an important part of your care.

Harriet’s Helping Hands

Harriet’s Helping Hands is Rolfe’s patient and family support program, made possible with funding from the Gerald O. Mann Foundation.

The program provides “boots on the ground” assistance, connecting patients and families with resources, guidance, and support throughout Chicagoland hospitals during pancreatic cancer treatment.

Trusted Support and Resources

As part of our mission to assist pancreatic cancer patients and their families, Rolfe Foundation funds several Chicago-area groups and connects patients to national cancer support services that have been helpful for patients and caregivers.

Many of these services provide access to pancreatic cancer survivors, who can share valuable insights on treatment, health, nutrition, and recovery.
