Hi everyone hoping that this is OK to post. Don't know where else to turn.
My mum has been having upper left side pain, almost under shoulder blade for about 6 weeks now.. it's tender to touch.
She went to GP a while ago and they sent her for blood tests, all clear apart from blood sugars raised .
They referred her for ultrasound scan which is happening this week.
She went again to doctors today because the pain is still there. They did urine tests and it showed sugar urine.
GPs keep saying muscular but I have done a Google (I know) and the symptoms match up to pancreatic cancer so now I am in a panic. Does anyone have any experience or advice? Thank you
Hi BBL welcome to the forum. Ah ha the wonderful Dr Google who is so general it scares the living daylights out of people. This could easily be a lot of different and the only thing that I can advise is to wait for that ultrasound as it should pick up any irregularities if that is what this is. I hope it turns out to be good news for you all and will be thinking of you. x
