November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

… and November 19th is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day. But awareness is just the first step. When my friend asked me to accompany her to the end of her life, I was confronted with her questions… and mine.

• How could I be the friend she needed?
• How could I be both supportive and honest?

Supporting a Loved One After a Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis

Biography of a friendship is a promise kept: writing a candid story of our friendship, so my experience could help two friends like us and bring awareness to pancreatic cancer.

Along the way, I got the answers to my questions:  Speak the truth and be in “her conversation.”

Taking action on Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day

To remember those we lost.
To celebrate those who are fighting.
To rejoice in those who survived pancreatic cancer.
To support those loving caregivers often at a loss for words…

From November 13-23, 2026, the Biography of a Friendship E-Book is discounted to $1.99

May Biography of a Friendship help you help someone, soothe your own memories, offer guidance, and be as cathartic to read as it was for me to write.
