We help patients, caregivers, and families navigate the very scary journey of fighting pancreatic cancer. Patients are looking to integrate therapies to coincide with their chemotherapy.
The Rolfe Foundation has a free webinar program once a month that often highlights an approach to make the cancer journey a bit easier. For example, we just had a marvelous dietitian speak about foods that are inflammatory vs. foods that feed our healthy cells and how we can optimize our food choices to make the difficulties patients face a bit easier.
The Rolfe Foundation provides education on treatment options, personalized introductions to medical experts and resources, and on-going support to meet your needs at no charge to you.
We are here to help.
We understand the path may be different for everyone involved. Patients, survivors, family, friends, and at risk communities all have different needs. Some of you may need information and connections to leading doctors. Maybe you are looking for emotional support, or guidance on nutrition, health and wellness. Or perhaps, you simply want to talk.
That’s why we’re here, and why we’ve partnered with a number of leading doctors, hospitals, care coordinators, researchers, and cancer organizations in the Midwest and across the country to provide the support services and personal connections you need.
Connecting you and your family to tailored resources is at the core of the Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation’s mission. We want to simplify your search for care centers, health systems, and treatment options with a list of comprehensive information about medical and palliative care, research and clinical trials, financial assistance, and a venue for emotional support.
When it comes to pancreatic cancer, we understand that everyone’s needs are different. That’s why we work with you directly to determine the contacts and resources to best help you and your family. Maybe you’re looking for comprehensive cancer centers.
Maybe you’re in need of a genetics counselor. Or perhaps you are looking for information on financial and in-kind assistance. Call us at 773.989.1108 or email us so we can answer your questions and connect you with the best resources for your needs.
Voices of Rolfe is a showcase of stories that depict the experiences of patients, survivors, family members and caregivers.
Honest, and sometimes raw, they are a reminder that you are not alone. Get inspired, learn something new, and connect with others in the pancreatic cancer community. Want to share your Voice? Email us or call 773.989.1108.
