I am a 30 year old relatively fit and healthy male.
I am worried sick I have pancreatic cancer I have had the following symptoms:
Back in January this year I all of a sudden lost my appetite within 3 weeks I lost 5/6kg had pale stools which floated and had a general feeling of tiredness and being unwell.
Back and forth from the doctors I have had numerous blood tests a couple of which were abnormal but repeated and informed are now normal (one LFT was high bilirubin and albumin). The doctors have informed me that I have only 2 abnormal results, albumin level of 58 and a calcium level of 2.67 which have been been repeated and I have had a letter saying "no significant abnormalities'.
I have been tested for all sorts of allergies and infections but all come back negative. My stools been tested too.
My stools at the moment I can only describe as being between diarrhoea and solid (snake like smooth and soft but a brown colour) I go 2/3 sometimes 4 a day.
At present I have a constant feeling of feeling unwel my weight seems to have become stable (gained a couple of kgs) but I seem to have a pain which comes and goes behind my ribs sometimes I feel it in my back.
I have seen 3 doctors at my GP and they all say I am too young to have pancreatic cancer but I can't help think that I have this horrible disease.
I have recently seen GI doctor and he also doesn't seem to be concerned of PC because I don't have jaundice but everywhere I read it says this doesn't appear in all cases especially if not at the head of the pancreas.
I have recently had a colonoscopy which was clear but I have been told I need to wait 4 weeks for a follow up because samples were taken for IBS.
Should I push for a CT scan if I am worried about PC ? I really am worried about this disease and being told I am too young scares me more because it seems they won't even look down this route but surely if I have these pains and generally feel unwel there is something wrong? I've felt so ill for nearly 4 months now.
