Being tested for pancreatic cancer.

I’m absolutely terrified with all the tests I’ve had done. I’m also terrified that they have missed it too. Iooking back I’ve had symptoms on and off for over 2 years. Pain in upper right quadrant under ribs. Swelling and feeling full. Expelling food after a heavy meal, I’ve also had problem with my heart rate with ectopic beats. And I’ve also found a lump just under right rib cage which feels rubbery to touch. My heads battered with all the tests. I’ve had endoscopy with biopsy , mri. Ultrasound. Blood tests and ct scan waiting for results back from biopsy and ct.  I have also had surgery to remove blockage from bile duct in November. Has anyone been through something similar? 

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat forum Shelley although I'm sorry for the reason you find yourself with us.

    Waiting for results is always tough but you are not alone as many of our members have had to endure this anxious time as well so fingers crossed some of them will pop by soon to offer their support and share their experiences with you if they've been on a similar journey.

    I hope the results bring good news when the time comes Shelley but try to stay busy and distract yourself if you can as this will make the waiting slightly more bearable.

    Kind regards,
