Hello everyone. My name is Sangam and I am 28 years old. Since March I have been having the following symptoms that I'm worried could be pancreatic cancer -
* Nausea and headache and vomit like feeling.
* Loss of appetite (I've been eating less and less) and food being stuck in my upper abdomen.
* Burning sensation in my upper abdomen and tender to touch.
* Constant heartburn and chest pain.
* Shooting pain usually below left rib and back but sometimes on right side too.
* Pale / yellow stool always. It used to float before but now I have been avoiding fatty and oily food.
* Also random pain in different parts of my body for no known reason.
I have had three blood tests and two stool and urine tests done at my GP. The results of the last blood test which was on 31st May is yet to come back and is adding to my anxiety. I have been asking the doctors for any type of scan but they refuse and keep telling me I'm anxious.
For the last few days I've been feeling really sick. My appetite is almost gone and even drinking water makes me nauseaus. I have very little sleep as well becuase the pain keeps waking me. On top of that I cannot think of anything else and fear the worse.
I have decided to do a screening privately. Could you please advice me on which test is the most accurate at detecting pancreatic cancer? An Endocopic Ultrasound, CT Scan, MRI or any other tests?
