POSSIBLE PANCREATIC CANCER? QUITE CONCERNED!!


  I have been experience a range of problems for months. My own research has led me on different paths. My Dr. hasn't found a real problem yet except my female hormone levels are very low or off the chart. In fact, my estrogen is post-menopausal and I am 31.  My question is about pancreatic cancer or endocrine pancreatic cancer.  I have had a change in bowel habits and now  have pale stools filled with mucus.  I never had this before . However, now  it is always present and has gotten worse. Sometimes i have a day or two of diarrhea and then i go a few days without a movement.  Also, more gas and quite frequent bloating. I have  fatigue like never before!  Also,I have read that a possible symptom is  "fatty abnormalities?"  I have a spot on my front, upper thigh, which looks like normal cellulite patches usually found on the back of a womans leg.   I don't know if that is considered a 'fatty abnormality'.  ?  I  am not overweight and find this odd.  This appeared a few months ago and my Dr. shrugged it off, as he does with all my ailments.   I Have not been experiencing weight loss, vomiting or severe stomach pains.  I would appreciate your professional opinion .  Thank you so much !!

Dear Judith,
The symptoms that you describe are not very suggestive of pancreatic cancer.  To allay your fears and to exzclude any problem that could explain the pale stool, you should ask your doctor to arrange for an ultrasound of the pancreas and bile ducts
