Pancrea' cancer that my new doctor said i could have. Testing now, no results yet


    
Asked by damxciting (Female; 61; westnile virus, auto immune disease, smoker for years. Asthma, barrett's esophagus. Colonscopy & endroscopy every 3 yr. Polips taken off ea. time. IBS ; Relevant drugs:mobic, Nexium ) on Wed 11, Jun 2008 09:56pm

After having a severe problem with constipation twice last Feb. I have had stomach problems. Pain between my shoulder blades. Icky stomach, light bowel movements on & off. Dr. just said maybe a pancrea's problem. Have just taken blood tests & will get a scan next week. Should I be concerned it really could be my pancrea's? I understand its the worst kind of cancer to get & the most painful to die from. Once you have symptoms, you have it.

Hi there. I understand your concern. Your present symptoms are really very non-specific to point out to something specific such as pancreatic cancer. Also, given your complex history of systemic diseases, these pains may be a complication of these (like autoimmune vasculitis or inflammation at other sites) rather than a pancreatic cancer. If ever your pancreas is ever involved, I think it will be likely due to pancreatitis rather than cancer. These symptoms may also point out to a gallbladder problem. Nevertheless, I respect your doctor's views regarding your situation, and he has your best intentions in mind in requesting these tests. Let's just hope that all the tests will turn out fine. Wishing you all the best. Regards and God bless.
