I was diagnosed with duodenal adenocarcinoma after whipple surgery in Oct 2020 , as we know this is a very rare cancer that shows very few symptons, I only had one occasion of malena and pain in abdomen so was taken to hospital had gastroscopy and a lesion found in duodenum, within 6 weeks I'd had mri,ct,pets can and colonoscopy and then surgery
The histology was pT1 N0 M0 so no spread and no lymph node involvement out of the 35 removed, so I needed no further treatment
The moral of this is if you suspect anything get checked out ,time really is the essence
