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.

  • Hi Kezo just to say my adult son had high LFT all last year he kept going back for regular blood tests ,they sent him for an ultrasound scan but as far as I know all was fine ,as far as I know he does still go back for blood tests just to check but he's moved away now so we don't discuss it ,he also had bloated stomach and really bad indigestion but they gave him medication for it and he's still on it now ,did they mention P/C to you ??

  • Hi Jenny, thanks for your reply.

    I have a touch of jaundice, nausea on and off, and twinges in my stomach (not 24/7).

    The Dr said she was referring me urgently for what is called pancreatic cancer referral. Wants me scanning and other tests rather than ultrasound and other tests.

    TBH, I have drank too much over the last 20-25 years. I enjoy red wine of an evening, it has been my de-stress. So if it is C it is my own fault. 

    Trying not to dwell until tests begin.
