10 WARNING Signs of Pancreatic CANCER you should NEVER Ignore

Pancreatic cancer is hard to find early. The pancreas is deep inside the body, so early tumors can't be seen or felt by health care providers during routine physical exams. People usually have no symptoms until the cancer has become very large or has already spread to other organs.

A common symptom of pancreatic cancer is a dull pain in the upper abdomen (belly) and/or middle or upper back that comes and goes. This is probably caused by a tumor that has formed in the body or tail of the pancreas because it can press on the spine.

Wow, it's like YouTube knows I'm a hypochondriac and decided to increase my anxiety for no reason. Thanks!

My wife was diagnosed with Stage 1a pancreatic cancer

She'll be 5 years cancer free this September

My dad passed away in may 2022. Never had symptoms, he enjoyed an healthy diet, active lifestyle, no smoking or drinking. He was the best man in the world. Found the tumor in the tail and it was everywhere. Literally everywhere. I lost my dad in 20 days. Never seen something so cruel, devastating and fast. I had no time to even realize it.

In March of 2021, my sister was taken by ambulance to the hospital. She had been sick, her blood sugar level was 538. And she was not diabetic. Her colon was blocked but the worst thing was cancer in the head of her pancreas. Didn't find it anywhere else. Whipple procedure was done. She is still alive and well today.

My Dad was having vague abdominal symptoms, the Doc thought he had diverticulitis and put him on Metamucil. Then one night he had terrible abdominal pain 3 times, he said he felt like he was being sawed in half. It took 3 bouts of this pain to convince him to go to the hospital and he took a cab. He was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. The oncologist said there was a low chance of chemo helping, and then only for a few months, so he declined chemo. I moved him down with me for the last 5 weeks of his life and got him on hospice. His pain was well controlled and I gave him what ever he wanted to eat. He got so thin his pacemaker wires were visible. Hospice was great and Dad was very appreciative of all they and I did for him. Dad died at 82, quietly and comfortably and I still miss him every day. I hope they can make progress in treating this terrible disease.

After 9 1/2 years of battling this, still feeling strong with no pain. Hang in there and "Never give up"!

February 2024, 3 years post whipple procedure. Grateful to live in UK and NHS. Had the best team looking after me. No evidence of disease at present. Love, hope and kindness to all who experience this cruel disease.

My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 83 but you could never tell he looked younger and was so vibrant. He was so strong and active he was never home always at work from sunrise to sundown. He dedicated his time to social activism once he retired. One day he complained of upper back pain and had some unintentional weight loss like 40 pounds in three months. By the time he decided to see a doctor he was very weak. He only completed one round of chemo. He started declining right after. He passed away three days after his first chemo treatment. The pancreatic cancer had spread to his liver lungs and brain. On April 8th is the first year since his passing and I’m still numb and unable to fully grieve. He was so strong, selfless, generous and just a real stand up guy! We miss and love him dearly.

My Dad passed away in 2011 . Diagnosed in May, gone in September . Stage 4 . Didn't have weight loss, yellowing of eyes . Just his glucose went up, the dr put him on shots . He was in such pain before he passed . I was giving him morphine . He never deserved to pass away like that ! I miss him terribly, everyday, every week, every month, every year . My Dad, the best ! ❤️ Til I see him again ❤️

Thank you for speaking up about Pancreatic Cancer. It’s a devastating disease. I watched my sister die a slow and torturous death from it. Hers was in the tail, so had none of the symptoms like people get when it’s in the head, i.e., itching and jaundice. She was 51. Her first ‘sign’ was what she thought was indigestion. She came over and asked for Tums, something she never took or asked for. She ate a Mediterranean diet I guess you could say, lots of fish and seafood, all very healthy. She was super active.
She went for a scan. Her first scan showed nothing. She went back again with her husband (a pharmacist, they owned a pharmacy together) and they found a tumor, but said it was *benign* - laughable! They made her wait 8 weeks for surgery which is inexcusable. We tried to get her in anywhere we could, quick. Unfortunately by the time they opened her up, the “benign” tumor had grown from 4.4cm and had metastasized into her lymph nodes and abdomen. They had to sew her back up, and chemo it was. Chemo did nothing but prolong a life that was already suffering miserably. Her pain was off the charts and it seemed that no one understood that; she was undermedicated. No one should ever have to go through what I saw her go through. She went from 5’7 and 125 pounds to around 80. The only thing that helped her, until she could no longer eat, were edibles we were making for her. Please give patients the pain medicine that they NEED! Terminal patients are severely undermedicated and there’s NO reason for that!! I’m so relieved that she’s at peace now. She passed on my Dad’s birthday. My Mom has never been the same. She still, 7 years later, can’t look at my Sister’s Facebook. She loves photos but can’t handle her FB. No family should have to go through this.
I’m sharing this with the hope that it may help someone. If you have a pain in your abdomen and you don’t usually have one there, please get it checked out! If you keep ignoring it, like she did, you’ll find out when it’s stage 4 and has already spread, it’s pretty much too late. Take care of yourselves, and each other. And listen to Dr. Mike and pay attention to those risk factors! (Although my Sis had none of them).

My mom died of pancreatic cancer and she never lost weight. Her early signs were pain and discomfort but Dr's response was she was neurotic. A year later she got to a specialist who opened her to investigate, closed her and 30 days later she was gone. 😢 Dad's throat tumor was diagnosed as a stroke and he was given speech therapy!! 😢 It's mind boggling what goes on.

[TheChildofGod-bksv]

Please pray for me! I’m busker in the United States. Recently, I was diagnosed with terminal cancer in January 2023 but I had a greatest miracle in my life. All tumor was gone completely in 20days by the grace of God. I feel like having a second life. IT IS THE REASON WHY I STARTED YOUTUBE. I‘m trying to encourage and pray for cancer patients and families who are extreme suffering and pain by difficult circumstances. God is alive and do not afraid of cancer. We will get the miracle in Christ. I will pray for you!

[susanlumley]

Gosh. It's so sad reading all these stories where the medical profession didn't take symptoms seriously. I'm so sorry to all those people. ❤️

My wife complained of a nagging lower back ache. After a lengthy diagnosis process, doctors said 'pancreatic cancer, stage 4'. They immediately did the 'Whipple Procedure', very major surgery that took months to recover from. Then, 6 months of several different chemotherapy treatment plans. Sadly, it had spread to her liver and part of the bowel. Twenty months into her ordeal, she passed away. Warning to all; NEVER IGNORE a lower back ache. That's the only symptom she had, besides a little bit of unexplained weight loss. Very healthy, otherwise. She was 57.

If a doctor says your symptoms are imaginary or psychosymatic run, don't walk, to his exit door.

My first wife had abdominal issues in the year leading up to something being Very Wrong. In early 2002 she was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. She received treatments and did her best, but she died in late 2004. We were 35 years old. She was a nonsmoker with no known risk factors. The universe simply decided to cause her immense pain for years, dash her hopes for a future, and then take her away from me as she writhed in agony. Pancreatic is the worst cancer. I hope we can find a cure someday.

My sister passed away in 2009 age 44 from pancreatic cancer. She had no symptoms until it was too late. Feb. 25 is when she passed. I miss her so much. 😔

[mancunianinlondon]

My dad had it in pancreas and liver. He only lasted 5 months after diagnosis. It was heartbreaking to watch him go downhill so fast. He had itchy yellow skin, rapid weight loss, back pain, digestion issues and brown urine. He also had white faeces. Please get yourself checked if you have any of these symptoms
