Being tested for Pancreatic cancer

My Dr has been testing my blood

 The amylase started at 115 last week it was 128 and this week 160. I've got ct scan on 18th November. I'm itching like mad fro. Head to toe in fact it's painful to wear clothes as it rubs as you move and sends like shooting pain to area it's touched. I've also lost a lot of weight in a short period and already take 2 omprezerole daily but it's not stopping the acid reflux. I have no appetite and if I manage to eat can only manage a few mouthfuls before feeling sick and overfull. I have not had stomach pain yet but low on energy. My motions are light coloured and greasy like. I'm pretty sure it is cancer and from what my GP has said so is he. How long from the scan will it take to get results back? I'm feeling number and thoughts everywhere at the moment. I don't know what I'm asking really just needed to let it out I think
