Iv not yet been diagnosed… however having investigations.
5weeks ago I had a tender tummy to touch, had bloods done and my crp was 71 and ca125 (ovarian) was 105. Had an ultrasound of ovary’s and that was all ok. 2 weeks after I had abdominal pain which radiated through to my back,it would wake me in the night. (I recognised this pain as pancreatic as thought I had pancreatitis pain 10 yrs ago but bloods didn’t show anything) I went a&e and had a ct scan. Results showed nothing other than inflammation of my peritoneal (fluid build up) when I asked about my pancreas all the ct saw was fat accumulation on the tail of my pancreas.
I had an abdomen and pelvis ct and nothing other than this fluid was seen. I know how ct scans can miss pancreatic tumours.
im fearing it’s missed but and also missed spread to the liver. iv told them I want a EUS but he said I’d be better having an mri 1st.
did anyone else have abdominal fluid as 1st sign?
what the chances of ct missing tumour and possible spread?
