I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer on Christmas Eve and leading up to this I started getting an ache in my back which I first put down to the awful stress I was under but now I am very worried I have the same condition.
I also have terrible wind and starting to feel full after meals
Also lost 5lbs in last 3 weeks but I guess stress could cause this?
My tummy has also had a few bouts of pain
I have worried about things in the past so my wife thinks it’s in my head so I now feel so alone.
I am 53 and saw my gp 2 weeks ago who did bloods and chest X-ray both fine - but I know this is hard to diagnose so went private to see specialist on 19th but the wait to get Ct scan over Christmas is agonising
Anyone had the same?
