ive asked several questions here before , so heres one more !!

may to sept last year i had a dramitic change in stools It started with a couple of weeks of very light coloured stools , which over the weeks got darker EVENTUALLY after about 4 months and a ct colonoscopy everything seemed to get better Firm bowel movements of normal colour ( during the 4 month i had lots of mucus and wind too) sept - jan perfectly normalThen last week woke up horrible loose stool almost yellow in colour , almost a week has passed and bavk to normal colour etc but still a bit softer than normal !

my question is ! IF this were a pancreatic tumour would it have got better for 4 months ? ? OR could this be pancreatitis but i dont get terribel stomach pain . i get nausous and ive noticed lots of mucus again

dr is orderiig an amylase test etc but any ideas ?

    Dont you think you are taking things too fast? The way you jump to a pancreatic Tumor without any diagnosis is going to lead you to anxiety. Tumors of the Pancreas have their own presentation, they turn stool pale rather then yellow and stools mostly float with a lot of other symptoms. Can you tell us other symptoms? Labs if any? And most of all your age and any other medical history.

    Relax and dont stress your self with The Big C. There are hundreds of other conditions that can cause your symptoms.
