Pancreatic cancer fears

i have an upper scope scheduled this friday and ab MCRP/MRI on the 21st. i am very concerned at what will be found. is there anyone here with similar symptoms or advice?

had an upper scope today. gastritis was the main thing they found. still need to do a contrast MRI MRCP but doctor said with the testjng i have had like tumor markers i should not be concerned. didnt talk about pancreas at all for some reason

of course upper scope only revealed gastritis and was given medication for that. seems like doctors love to just pin it on gastritis. but its my pancreas that hurts

man no one ever responds here. just updating on my situation in the event somebody someday reads this. The GI doc said he was confident its not cancer due to the testing he did but my general practitioner said that CA-A-19 is not a good diagnosis tool

pain in my left flank hasnt subsided at all. there is deep left pelvic pain as well and the pain between my shoulder blades hits like a lightning bolt at times. still convinced this is some kind of tumor or PC.

I heard there is a sharp rise in PC due to the peptides found in COVID which i had in January before all this started. it "targets" a set of organs and among the liver, and heart one of those is the pancreas

on top of the pain; there is actually spasm or twitching going on in the area of the organ which isnt good. at best this is chronic pancreatitis. at worst i would have to imagine its pancreatic cancer.

the pain in my pelvic area and in my left buttocks which seems like some kind of inflammation cant be normal or just related to gastritis

doctor after my scope said it could be pancreatic insufficiency syndrome but the pain feels too bad for that

anyone read anything here that looks familiar

here is the results of MRI/MRCP

FINDINGS:

The patient is status post cholecystectomy. The cystic duct stump seems normal. The common bile duct measures 3.4 mm, the common hepatic duct measures 2.9 mm. The right hepatic duct measures approximately 2.0 mm, the left hepatic duct measures approximately 2.1 mm. There is normal tapering of common bile duct to the ampulla. There are no filling defects in these structures. There is no segmental narrowing to suggest strictures. The pancreatic duct is normal as well.

The visualized lung bases, cardiac chambers seem normal. The liver demonstrates signal characteristics compatible with fatty infiltration. There are no discrete lesions on T1 or T2 weighted images in the liver. Postcontrast, there are no obvious abnormally enhancing lesions in the liver. The spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, kidneys appear normal. The abdominal aorta has normal caliber. There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric adenopathy. The bowel loops are of normal caliber.

hi Clint, does this mean your pancreas isnt the problem? I'm having lots of the same symptoms, my doctor is adamant that its not pancreas related and is pushing for a gastritis diagnosis but my pain and strange symptoms dont seem to fit that.

they wont even entertain the pancreas as they say I would be in excruciating pain and vomiting

everything is exactly the same for me. pain, gurgling, rumbling. twitching by the pancreas. nausea a little bit better but overall theres clearly something wrong. pain in my left groin and buttocks. like a weird cold feeling or sensation if its not a burning feeling. its very different. how could they be missing this? appetite comes and goes

wanna note that dairy definitely seems to make it worse which i usually 100% avoid but yesterday had it accidentally. its awful today

my pain is in the upper back. it seems like all GI docs want to blame irritable bowell or gastritis when its clearly pancreas

all issues pretty much continued except the nausea is better and the pain in my left side is a little better. discomfort in my upper back is worse.

i cant see a pancreatic specialist until the 5th of september.

i dont think its for sure cancer but i do think at best its chronic pancreatitis
