Pancreatic Cancer UK

We’re here for everyone affected by pancreatic cancer, and we’re demanding a better future.

The Pancreatic Cancer UK nurses are here to support you now. We’re funding research and campaigning for change.

Pancreatic cancer has been left behind. Survival rates have improved enormously for most cancers. Sadly, for pancreatic cancer, this is not the case. It’s unacceptable that too few people survive.

But there is hope.

By working together, our actions today can transform the future for people affected by pancreatic cancer.

Together, we’ll take it on.

    Doctors don't do the right test when people complain about things. I'm in the same boat. Had many symptoms, enzyme spike, weight loss, abdominal discomfort. GP just said pancreatitis no further test until 2 months later I complained about left side back pain. Kaiser. Grrrrrrrr

    Did Vivienne find out why she had got the acid reflux? I have the same problem (never had it in the past) and my poop is also changed in color and density. But they have found nothing usual in the X-ray, ultrasound and CT scan.

    I am struggling with the medical system. My abdominal pain started 7 weeks ago ,, back pain 4 weeks ago,, Stool has been weird in all 7 weeks, and i lost weight before the abdominal pain started but it has accelerated the last 4 weeks,, Lost around 1 stone in 4 months.. The last 2.5 weeks I have had weird diabetic symptoms but the GP does not believe me as a blood work done 3 weeks ago showed that the long term (7 weeks prior) blood sugar looks good,. no elevated C19-9 or pancreatic amylas leves. my life have been hell.. and in a breakup with children involved at the same time.. Sickleave from work ,, away from my kids due to anxiety. I have had constantly short term headaches and high blood pressure due to the fluctuations in bloodsugar.. I take enzymes with every meal now to avoid losing to much weight. Have a doctors appointment tomorrow which is exactly 7 weeks since the abdominal pain started.. I need a diagnosis ASAP,, I need a scan.. I think it has spread to the perinium and the lymphs.. A soon as you notice you loose weight contact your doctor.. ( i have not been checking my weight).. and if you look att fasting bloodsugar levels,,, that could indicate something is wrong,, say you always been having a fasting blood sugar around 4.5 to 5.0 ,, if you suddenly looking at 5.5 to 6.5 (you should react) ,, an american man who was very fit and active in his late 40s noticed this about his blood sugar and got a scan and was in early stage 2 so it was possible to surgically remove the tumor. I suspect stage 4 PC in my case and a limited amount of months left to live.

    bring back memories,my lifepartner passed away to pancreatic cancer. he was only 43,always healthy, lived active life, never drinked or eated junk food. he found out at the stage 4, it was in so bad place that they coudnt operate on him. chemo didnt really do much, other than made him sick, so he decided to stop chemo and live happy life as long as he could with just cleaning body, juicing, intermitting fasting and he did had almost 4yrs. even with chemo it wasnt guarantee that he would of lived, and he wasnt really living because it made him so sick. to be able to work and train and do normal things, he had to stop chemo. its been 7yrs since he passed away.

    I am watching this with great fear.. I have been stressed from a relationship breakup and we have kids together.. which lead to a panic attack a year ago.. I have had some history of more frequent diarre the last 9 months but thought nothing of it. I have had abdominal pain for nearly 4 weeks now and now I seem to suffer from prediabtic symptoms,, (high fasting glykos levels), dry mouth and such.. I even feel that I have began developing a slighty sore back.. I went to the doctor and since i have a history of stress and panic they just meassured my blood sugar (6.3) which i feel was high since i had walked 5k prior to the meeting and just had a couple of bites of apple and two slices of orange at least an 1.5 hours before the meeting. Yesterday i felt a lump on my backhead.. Not sure If I had that before , or at least so pronounced. I will meassure my blood sugar this sunday morning ,, and go to the weekend reception and get an opinion on this mornings sugar count and the fact that I have a lump.. which could be a secondary brain tumör which originally came from the pancreas. THen I have maybe 4 weeks to live.

    I am scheduled for a CT scan next week because of increased blood sugar, regular diarrhoea, weight loss and fatigue. Since I also suffer from acid reflux, plus I had a 2-level ACDF surgery last November, it’s not clear if that was the cause of my weight loss. I’m very worried because someone I knew had passed away from pancreatic cancer last autumn.😢

    Our journey took 9.5 months, never thought I would be here, and convinced myself that we would be in the luckiest survivor group. My mom suffered so much; 2 major Whipple surgeries, and lots of chemo sessions with a three-month hospital stay in only less than a year. So sorry for her, too much pain to bear… I was fully aware of all possible outcomes, even in earlier stages and the survival rates, but strongly believed that we could at least have min. 2-3 years to spend and fight for it. Never imagined it would last 9.5 months. I’m not telling how all surgeries, treatments, and chemotherapies were delivering excellent results for the first 8 months as doctors were stating… maybe was an illusion… But everything we built up, improved, and achieved all family unified with solidarity collapsed in a month with an abdominal metastasis. I don't have any words to say, just holding my tears and the pain left in my chest and heart. No words to say. 🖤

    This video does not tell uou how to take the enzymes which i thought was the purpose of the video. Tgere is so much conflicting advice out there and not even the doctors seem to know if you should take before the meal or spread throughout the meal. Seems crazy reallly that even the so called specialists don't even know.

    Why don’t they do a ct scan for pancreatic cancer every year?

  • @PancreaticCancerUK
    @PancreaticCancerUK4 ай бұрын

    Thank you for your question. Unlike for other cancers, there are currently no screening programmes or simple tests to diagnose pancreatic cancer, though a CT scan with an injection of dye may be one test could be used to diagnose pancreatic cancer. You can read more about the different tests that may be used here: bit.ly/3QJt9jO including the breath test that our researchers are hard at work developing. Unfortunately, population-wide screening is unlikely because of multiple factors including the vagueness of early symptoms, though this doesn't mean that screening programmes for those sub-populations with relevant risk factors are ruled out. We hope this helps!

I have kept pushing them and now Cleaveland and mayo want to see me in february. I know its a long time for me BUT I have done every test you can think of including Galleri cancer testing. If I end up getting this cancer, I have some bad bad luck because that's a lot of misses from the doctors and radiologists.
