A pancreatic cancer diagnosis can arrive quietly, but its impact is immediate. This type of cancer begins in the pancreas, a small yet powerful organ behind the stomach that helps regulate digestion and blood sugar. Due to its location and subtle early signs, pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at later stages.
At OBUR Health, we understand the complexity and urgency behind this condition. Our role is to provide compassionate pancreatic cancer care in Houston, including virtual consultations, in-home support, and collaborative care planning, so you and your loved ones don’t have to walk this path alone.
Pancreatic cancer is known for being stealthy. Many people have no symptoms in the early stages. When symptoms do appear, they can resemble other common conditions.
If you or someone you love is experiencing these symptoms, early assessment is key. We’ll help you take the next best step.
While OBUR Health does not provide chemotherapy or surgery, we play a crucial role in managing symptoms, coordinating care, and supporting quality of life during every stage of the journey.
Every patient deserves dignity, comfort, and a voice in their care plan, and that’s exactly what we provide.
Not necessarily. Outcomes depend on the type, stage, and location of the cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health. Early detection and support can make a meaningful difference.
Patients with pancreatic cancer typically see oncologists, surgeons, and gastroenterologists. OBUR Health helps coordinate with these specialists while managing symptoms at home or virtually.
Yes, especially in later stages or during recovery. Our in-home services focus on symptom relief, comfort, and personalized care, allowing patients to stay in a familiar environment.
Be present, listen without pressure, and encourage them to follow a care plan. Our team can also help support caregivers with tools, resources, and professional guidance.
