Pancreatic cancer

Started getting lower back rib pain Jan 21 and urgency to urinate.Went down the urology route had pelvic ultrasound, cystoscopy, mri prostate all ok. Left back pain worsening no weight loss or other symptoms. MRI thorasic spine all ok.Saw gastroenterologist consultant told him it might be pancreatic and requested CT scan with contrast.He said you're reading too much on Google and stop worrying well wouldn't you believe it they've found an abnormality on pancreas and I have to see him next week no doubt to be told the grim news. Strange that the same day I recieved his letter that I got a letter from the NHS reference a request I made weeks ago to see a gastroenterolist talk about covering you ***!

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some ongoing health concerns over the past few months. It sounds like it's been a difficult time for you. 

    Hopefully, the appointment that you have arranged with the Consultant this week will bring some answers. If you'd like to have a chat with one of our nurses at any point then you're welcome to give them a call on Freephone 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
