Help! Pancreatic Cancer worry
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi everyone. Firstly I should say that I do suffer with health anxiety. My mum also died of PC at age 70 so this illness is always in the back of my mind. I have had IBS for many years and just deal with it but over last few months I have developed upper centre abdominal discomfort. It's more sore than pain. I also have pressure feeling which radiates under upper left rib, just under breast. The feeling also goes down my left side. The pressure feeling does also radiate under right upper rib but it is mainly on the left. It feels like a tight band across upper abdomen. I do have some sternum discomfort sometimes, some burping and gurgling stomach. Sometimes feel a bit nauseous. My stools are brown in colour and urine looks normal too. No issues with eating. I had an ultrasound scan yesterday and my pancreas looked normal but the tail could not be seen due to stomach gas. Gallstones were found on the scan. I am so scared I have pancreatic cancer. It takes over my mind. I hope someone could put my mind at ease. TIA
