Julie - lost a lot of weight after having 9 hour operation for duodenal cancer. I haven't managed to put any weight back on and now have pain in other areas

Hi, I had duodenal cancer and had a 9 hour big operation in Feb. I lost almost 4 stone in weight. I haven't been able to put any back on. I'm now getting intermittent pain in my lower ribs and spine. So, worried it might have gone to my bones!

Hi Julie and welcome to the club that no-one ever wants to join. Go straight to your Doctor because no-one on here can diagnose you, and when dealing with cancer, time is of the essence as I am sure you know. If it is any consolation to you, there are LOADS of harmless health conditions that can mimic cancer, but you really MUST see your Doctor ASAP. Good luck, xx
