I have been feeling unwell lately. Saw my GP on Friday and explained my symptoms which are mostly tiredness and weight loss. I am having tests later in the week. Without waiting for the results my GP told me that his opinion is that I have Pancreatic cancer. Surely it was wrong of him to say that so prematurely? He has terrified me. Does anyone have any thoughts please

  • Hello there

    I am sorry to hear about the symptoms you have and appreciate that going for tests and awaiting the results can be an anxious time.

    It is unusual for any doctor to suggest a diagnosis without test results so it is difficult to know where this comment has come from.

    However as others have said on here try not to over think things until you have some solid information. Symptoms are often caused by a range of conditions and only further tests will identify the reason in your case.

    I hope you know more soon.

    Do get back in touch if you want or need to.

    Wishing you all the best
