Urgent Pancreatic Cancer Referral

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has any idea of what I can expect.

I have just had results back, and LFT really high. An out of hours GP contacted me at 10pm the same day (03/08/2024) test done to advise me I needed to see someone ASAP.

Appointment today, and urgent referral has been made. The Dr seemed very concerned, and now obviously I am. 

I had bloods done last Nov and LFT was perfect. If it is now dangerously high is this an indication that IF it is PC it is advanced?

Thank you for reading.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some blood test results which have given cause for concern. It's good to know that a referral to the specialist team has already been made and hopefully you won't have to wait too long to see them. 

    It's important to remember that there are often many causes for abnormal blood results and whilst it's understandable that you may be worried about cancer, until you see the specialists it's really difficult to say what may have caused your high LFT results. 

    If you'd like to talk with one of our nurses for some advice and support you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Hopefully you will hear about your appointment soon and the team will be able to give you some answers. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
