Pancreatic cancer symptoms

[ghyamste]

Hello everyone. I know I am stupid to write over here as I have not yet been diagnosed . I am having mid back pain for the past month. The pain would radiate across the back and temporarily relieved by bending forward. Also while sitting..i have pain on the lower left side of the back. No abdominal pain or jaundice as of now. But I have slight rib pain from time to time. I am 24. Thus this sound like pancreatic cancer. I know I should be going to a doctor and all and I even visited a gp and he said it is probably muscle pain from running on treadmill. I am not convinced at all as I have had muscle pains before and it is nothing like this. I stay away from home actually am staying in a foreign country for higher studies and being so far away from home makes me feel more anxious.

Hi There !! Sorry you r not feeling to great at the moment . I don’t think you have a thing to worry about at all . I think you would have more severe symptoms . I can imagine your mind is running away with you now .

My friend died of this and I can assure you the symptoms were nothing like this . You take care and talk soon .

Try cutting out or down on dairy products. You may see a big improvement .Poppy Storey

the problem is that early symptoms are not severe as you describe, caught earlier this terrible disease is more treatable. Pain is a sure sign there is something wrong, but not necessarily cancer.

Hi, the pain you describe could be an inflamed pancreas, certainly sounds like it is from this gland in the manner it radiates to your back. Please don't worry the pancreas, like other body parts can have problems other than cancer. Perhaps get checked out when you return home, keep a diary of your pain and symptoms. Best wishes.
