6 Warning Signs of Pancreatic Cancer 

just found out wife has stage 4 PC this week, still trying to process everything. please pray for us.

I had a Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer in 2005 and thank God l am still here so don't give up hope.

The hardest thing to find...a doctor that will listen to you.

I was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May 2022, I had lost weight and had back ache but nothing really to worry about. I had the tail of my pancreas and my spleen removed in June 2022. The operation went well but the cancer grew back, I have just months left to live, I’m not giving up, I’m touring the uk next week and I have a cruise booked at the end of April, Norwegian fjords here I come. Best wishes to you all 😀 May I just add that I married my long term partner Katy and if you would like to watch about 8 minutes of our wedding that was made possible by gift of a wedding Reece and Kate wedding, we had a fantastic day all thanks to gift of a wedding. Take care everyone thanks Reece.

I went to the Doctor because I had a pain in my side and he thought it mite be an inflamed Pancras but after having a CT scan it turned out to be stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer that was back in 2015 and it's now 2022 and I'm still here

Was diagnost with pancreatic cancer in 2019, had a stent put in followed by a Whipple procedure.....all good until 2022, now found in liver, tried chemo but the chemo created too many side effects and my quality of life went to almost zero. Now off chemo for 3 months and other than issues with digestion am doing very well and am taking one day at a time. There is no cure, just quality of life issues. At 82 I am thankful for every day. Staying active and positive and wishing everyone the best. Am doing meditation, healthy diet and hiking almost every day.

My dad was diagnosed at stage 4. He had a tumor blocking the pancreatic duct. They mistakenly thought it was a gallbladder problem so they removed it. This exacerbated the real issue which was his pancreas. Although he never had yellowing of skin and eyes. Never had bowel or skin issues. No back pain. He had a strong appetite up until 2 nights before he ended up in the emergency room. He said eating made the pain worse. Which makes perfect sense now. Unfortunately he died 8 months later of radiation poisoning. Everyone needs to be a warrior advocate for themselves. Question everything. Look into All treatments not just mainstream. Be open minded. Don't give in to the fear. Keep a positive mindset. Sending Love , Healing, Comfort, Clarity and Many More Blessings to All 💗

May God bless all of those who have pancreatic cancer.

My husband died from pancreatic cancer 17 days after the initial diagnosis. What infuriated me is that he was telling his doctor for a year that he felt something was wrong in his stomach, like a balloon inflating and his doctor ignored him. One time at a routine check up, my husband’s sugar spiked. So the same doctor put him on diabetic meds. When my husband took them, he got deathly Ill because he didn’t have diabetes! His sugar spiking, along with my husband telling him that he was extremely tired, his back hurt worse, and he felt strange things in his stomach, would have alerted a good doctor that maybe something else was going on. But his doctor brushed him off. 17 days. We had 17 days from him being diagnosed until he passed. I’d like to ask that doctor if he cared at all. We could have had at least another year together. My daughter had our first grandchild in December of 2021. My husband would have adored and enjoyed that little boy so so much. It breaks my heart that he’s not here. And it’s not fair.

Pancreatic cancer killed my mother 6 1/2 months ago. She went in for gallbladder surgery and that's when they found the tumor. She was stage 3 at the time. She fought it for 3 1/2 years. She lived with me and I was her full time care taker. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. It broke my heart to see her health deteriorate knowing there was nothing I could do about it. To watch her take her last breath about killed me. I lost the most important person in my life, best friend, confidant etc. My life will never be the same.

I just found out that I have something on my pancreas. Im scheduled on June 13th for an MRI. God has his plans. We all have a testimony, and I have faith and strength to keep moving. In Jesus' name.

From reading all these comments I'm convinced doctors have no idea what they are doing

My dad was officially diagnosed with “treatable”cancer on Oct 30 2019 and died 3 weeks later. It was horrible. Greatest man I will ever know❤

I was diagnosed in 2019, had surgery and took chemo pills, radiation and had a port put and took the regular chemo thanks to the good lord above I'm cancer free now

I'm so f'ing scared right now. I've had severe pancreatitis for about a week. My urine is bright orange and in the past year I lost over 100 pounds. I was large amd was trying to lose weight but most of it came off in about 6 months. At that time I wasn't having pancreas symptoms. I'm going to go to the hospital tomorrow. I have a 4 year old daughter 😢 please everyone pray or send good energy that this is just pancreatitis

In 1997 mom developed yellowing of the eyes,no other symptoms. Test after test came back negative. 3 months later she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Ironically as mom is in the doctors office I could not hold back the tears & went outside. 3 women approached me - a Rabbi, Christian prayer leader and sweet elderly woman. We contacted Sylvester cancer institute at Miami University,but kept mom on list,no appointments. For some odd reason I felt so strongly mom would survive even tho from social workers to specialists said 3 months. I refused to accept that & yes I fought the medical world. It was obvious,they wanted no hope,I & family wanted survival.The prayers were overwhelming for her. Mom was in the hospital when we received the call,an appointment opened at Sylvester for her, but she was too weak to be transported. Mom, brother and I met with a young Oncologist who looked at he records,,had strong confidence he could save her, even though the cancer had spread. Dr Delgado graduated from Miami University, worked at Sylvester during his internship. Well,mom did survive and were so blessed to have her 12 more wonderful years.

Been fighting neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer since 2016 it's been a helluva fight many close calls but God turned my health around for the better. I'm stage 4

My mother had breast cancer in 2014. She successfully removed the tumor through surgery and then Chemo later. in October 2023 she had upper abdomen and back pain, She had jaundice and was diagnosed in November and suffered a lot from itching for 15 days before surgery to clear the Bile Duct in order to eat normally again. She cried sometimes, sadly she passed away in Jan 14 2024. Please pray for my Mother, Prayers to everyone from Morocco.

In early 2017 I was having what I thought was either persistent heartburn or acid reflux, I had never had either before, so I didn't know what exactly the problem was. Still not sure it was even related, but I eventually had an ultrasound/that lead to an MRI/that lead to a CT scan/that lead to a biopsy/that lead to my Pancreatic Cancer diagnoses. I was lucky to get into a Clinical Trial at the Charles Sammons Cancer Center in Dallas, Texas. Lots of Chemo and other stuff during the trial, and then radiation treatments after. My Whipple was performed in early 2018, and as of this writing, I am 5 years out and still clean! Can't thank my amazing Clinical Oncologist and Surgical Oncologist enough, they quite literally saved my life.

My husband passed away from this evil, in april 2021. He only lived 3 months. He had all these symptoms. I live and miss you so much Ronny.😭😭💕

This is one of the most scary cancers because by the time it is discovered it is nearly always fatal

My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer August of 2021. She died 3 days after being diagnosed. She had indigestion and her eyes looked yellow, which was why I took her to the doctor for a check up in the first place. Never in a million years did I think I would bring my mother back home in coffin. Her death broke my family, it was so unexpected. My dad took it extremely hard. He passed away last year, six months after my mother died.

my partner was diagnosed at stage 4,he lived healthy life,trained and taken care of himself, intermittingfasted and cleaned his body, without chemo he lived almost 4yrs that way. he passed away 2017, he stopped chemo because it made him so sick and took the quality of life from him, at least he was feeling god and happpy the last years without it, and able to enjoy life,since there was no way out of this alive even with chemo. he was only 43.

So many people with family who have died of this. My husbands died of pancreatic cancer six weeks ago. His was diagnosed three and a half months earlier. Let’s hope for better diagnosis and treatment in the very near future.

Many times you go to the doctor with symptoms that last and they think you're hypochondriac and they also become unpleasant. But when you pay out of your pocket they have a welcoming personality and run all tests.

My dear friend was seeing doctors that told her she must be an alcoholic (she rarely drank around me....people say maybe she was a closet alcoholic) then she went on a cruise with her son and really got sick so they quarantined her. When she got home I dropped her off at ER on my way to work....that day she went having been diagnosed with gallstones to the end of the day...pancreatic cancer stage 4. She was given 14 months of life but lasted only 14 days. People get second opinions, especially if you know for certain you aren't diagnosed correctly.

My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 45, he had half his pancreas removed and went onto live another 10 years until it came back in his bowl and stomach 😔 he fought till the end 👊❤️

My mom died January 2020 Pancreatic cancer stage 4 at the age of 87..... She had been so healthy all her life never been sick... The cancer spread to her lungs.... She did chemo for 3 years with no side effects and died with no pain This was a miracle.

Reading the comments, I don't feel alone in grieving. Thank you for your stories and hope life treats you well

One of the ladies I worked with died of pancreatic cancer at 55 years old. It broke my heart because she was the nicest person ever. From diagnosis to death was less than three weeks.

My husband retired at 67 but was still very active. He had no symptoms, but I noticed he had lost weight. Then his eyes turned jaundiced and he went for a scan. He had stage 4 and only lasted 10 weeks to the day. He refused chemotherapy. Our wonderful doctor who started visiting us when we couldn’t get there said please don’t do chemotherapy. It will not increase your life, just make the few weeks you have more painful. That was 2011. I still miss him.

My grandfather died of Pancreatic Cancer in 1983. He was diagnosed with it, and was gone 8 weeks later. On the day he was taken out of his home for the last time, and taken to hospital he was painfully thin. He looked like a skeleton. I will never forget that. Rest in sweet peace Jacky. I love and miss you. Xx

I lucked out. Back in 2016 went in for CT scan for kidney stones. Saw a mass on pancreas. Had biopsy done found a small tumor. Had a robotic Whipple procedure. Lasted for nine and half hrs. Took out small intestine, gall bladder, more than two thirds of pancreas and lymp nodes in the vicinity. As of 2.23 it hasn't come back. Have blood work and CT scan every six months. I'm diabetic now.

Both of my grandparents and my father died from pancreatic cancer. My dad died last year about 4 weeks after his diagnosis. He had been dieting before and had lost weight, but he knew something was wrong when he got stomach pains. He went to the hospital when the pain was unbearable hoping it was an ulcer. It wasn’t. I watched 3 people I love wither away. Now I’m afraid I’m next.

Yeah... everyone says "prevention is key" or "talk to your doctor" but, when I do, 90% they disregard my complaints. It kind of frustrating to see that a lot of doctors will just look for the most common things

I went to the doctor with pain in my side had lost 50lbs.Sent me to get a scan at the hospital,had a tumor on my pancreas and stage 4 liver cancer that was October 29 2020.With treatment, shots, meds I'm still here alive.

My dad was 90 years old when he was diagnosed. Diagnosed in February 2018 and gone May 28, 2018. They said it was pneumonia because of the fluid in his lungs. They drained the fluid and a week later it was back. We knew something else was going on. The MRI of his pancreas told the story. He was 90 and always healthy. The take down was so swift. He is so missed, even four years later.

I did not have jaundice. I did not have light colored poop, but the consistency changed. I had back pain, and am diabetic. I had some nausea in the AM. I was tired, had itchy skin, belly aches, severe night sweats, and more. I had been complaining for a long time, but was left feeling it was in my head. Finally, they did a CAT scan and an MRI. That is when the cancer was detected. Luckily it was stage 1, but I a not out of the woods yet. If the doctors had listened sooner, things would have been better!

*I have pancreatic cancer I was diagnosed in early December 2021 our wonderful United Kingdoms NHS has spent literally thousands of UK Pounds trying to cure me of it, I have had 8 cycles of Folfirinox chemotherapy which was the worst experience of my life, I was referred to a specialist pancreatic centre in Birmingham here in the UK to have a whipple procedure but unfortunately when the surgeon opened me up he found the cancer had invaded two of my main arteries far more extensively than the CT and MRI scans had shown so was unable to continue with the operation, I have now been referred back to my local hospital for palliative single agent Gemcitabine chemotherapy, hopefully it will give me a few extra months of life with my wonderful family, Is pancreatic cancer a death sentence?" well yes it is for the vast majority of us, blessings to all sufferers of all diseases.*

My mom diagnosed stage 4 pancreatic cancer 2 years ago, in the head and bile duct and liver. She’s been on chemo for two years but cancer is now in the tail of pancreases and just had stents put in. She’s now diabetic and is vomiting and lots of pain. It’s a horrible cancer!!!!

I wish we'd known the signs earlier with my sister. By the time we realized she was sick, she only had days left. I miss her so much.

May the lord hold all that is suffering from this evil..God bless each and everyone of you

hey guys I read all this comments 3 month ago because its my first time I heard about this kind of cancer , my mom diagnosed in 12/22 pancreas cancer after 6 month she died , It was the hardest thing I've ever done. It broke my heart to see her health deteriorate knowing there was nothing I could do about it. To watch her take her last breath about killed me. I lost the most important person in my life, best friend, confidant etc. My life will never be the same.

My husband died in 2009 from Pancreatic cancer. Health man,no signs of anything later he lost little weight and that made us go to the doctor and from blood work that’s when they told us. He had one round of chemotherapy and didn’t want another one because he didn’t want to kill what was left of his other organs. He died 10 months later at the age of 58. He is missed so so much 😢

I had a bad attack of panchrititus it was so painful and the constant vomiting put me in intensive care. It caused me to be insulin dependent diabetic. I hope it never causes me cancer. Once diagnosed its usually to late. My sincere condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one to this awful thing 😢 xx

Back in the late 70’s my Pop died from this disease but for 6 months prior to his death he was treated for hepatitis. Love you Poppy.

I lost my wife at 50 to PC. Married 26 years. She was my soulmate.

I just lost my uncle on December 21st to this cancer, he was diagnosed in early November, every week after that it was a huge dip in health, I last saw him on December 10, he was skinny, yellow skin, yellow eyes, on oxygen, could barely speak, I felt so bad. I don’t wish this cancer on anyone.

My mom had jaundice eye when she was 62 years old. We did all kind of tests and she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The doctor that operated on her was unsuccessful in removing the cancer. They recommended chemotherapy. We said no and my mom died 6 months later.

This killed my 53 year old mom. Her doctor thought she had a hiatal hernia or gallbladder issue. She had the belly/back pain. Once the weight loss and jaundice happened, it became clear something was really wrong. She lived 11 months after diagnosis and a trip to MD Anderson. It's a cancer I truly wish was far more talked about and researched.

Good informative video. I hope that one day they find an easy cure for this devastating sickness...

The silent killer. Once the obvious signs show up, like jaundice and blood sugar issues, it's usually too late. Thank you for helping get the word out.

As a nurse of 43 years, pancreatic cancer is one of the worst. It sneaks up on people...& Kills so quickly. Good to see this education out here

My mother was diagnosed with stage 1 PC in 2021. She had jaundice and dark color urine. The surgeon oncologist wanted to perform surgery, but he wanted to shrink it with chemo. Then the cancer grew to stage 4, so stronger chemo shrunk the cancer. Until November 2022 it blocked the deudonom. Then mom passed away. I miss my mom. 😭

By the time my sister had jauntice, it was too late. She died one year from the day she was diagnosed after several rounds of chemo. One of the symptoms she had several months before was that she could only eat a small amount and she'd feel stuffed, which was never the case for her before. She was 64 when she was diagnosed, 65 when she passed on 10/2/2011. Gone too soon.😪

My Dad was diagnosed with it in November 78, he died March 79 I miss him so much❤❤😢

If you see something say something............ and then get ignored.

Scary that it can be too late by the time you notice some of these symptoms

Another problem is too many general practitioners and even gastroenterologists are dismissive of symptoms and/or are not actively looking for the signs. Many are resigned to the inability to detect pancreatic cancer until it’s advanced. Perhaps better medical school curriculums are needed and more frequent continuing education.

I had a whipper procedure in 2019, the cancer returned in my liver this year....stage 4. Chemo is hurting body more then helping. At age 81 almost 82, I am not afraid of dying but wish my own body wasn't the killer.

My brother passed away last year from pancreatic cancer, 3 months earlier he was doing carpenter work “ that’s how fast it went ! RIP my dear brother l love you 💁‍♀️💕🙏💙🙏

Very dangerous decease, my wife has itchy skin, has a lot of nausea and wait loss, I will send her to the Dr next week

My husband passed away from this evil cancer. Almost exactly 4 months from his diagnosis

My grandmother died of this terrible disease. So when I started having nausea and vomiting and hurting in my upper abdomen and back. I went to the doctor they found that I had gallstones and one was blocking my duct. I told my surgeon about my grandmother and he made sure to examine my liver and pancreas while taking out my gallbladder. My best piece of advice know your family history (if possible) and if something doesn’t feel right find a medical professional who will listen to you.

Get a screening ultrasound every year. Ask for "CPT 76700 abdominal complete." It can detect small abnormalities and tumors early. Then, you go for a CT if something looks wrong. Don't let "your insurance won't pay for it" stop you. Go to an imaging clinic, should only be $60 - $120 self pay. This ultrasound also detects aortic aneurysm and liver disease!

My 86 year old mother has cancer for the last 5 years in her blood. She is living her life one day at a time, and went out and bought herself a new caravan to use this summer. She has always had a caravan.

I just had a friend die from pancreatic cancer. It was a surprise to many. She had no known symptoms and was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer at a wellness, checkup visit to the doctor. She was hospitalised for 9 days and died after only two weeks of being diagnosed. So sad. God Bless ! ! !

My grandma died of Pancreatic cancer. She went into hospital with Pancreatitis and 2 days before she was coming home they found out she had advanced Pancreatic Cancer. She died 2 weeks later.

Just diagnosed on 6 February 24. Stage 4. Start chemo in the next couple of weeks. No symptoms until three weeks before diagnosis.

It really depends on where in the pancreas the cancer is. Mine was in the head of the pancreas. I didn’t loose weight, have jaundice nor did I any of these other symptoms. Yet it had spread to my liver. SO, if you have any thing that’s not the norm for you don’t wait on these symptoms. Mine was found because my doctor was proactive with me when I complained of heartburn that wasn’t relieved with medicine. That’s it besides being fatigued.

If you sweat alot at night. If you're extremely tired at 11am.

Had a Whipple procedure back in 2001.. Im still here!! Thanks for making others aware of this. Mine was caught early. I had No clue of Pancreatic Cancer until it formally introduced itself to me.

My father died today because of pancreatic cancer 🥺 I wish he could of spotted it sooner. He was to weak for chemotherapy.

Don’t get scared, just go see a doctor and get referred for an ultrasound. I had the same symptoms and it was only gallstones. I had a simple day surgery and now I am back in business.

My died of this cancer... See you in heaven mum... Love you!... ❤️💖💕💋💞♥️

Don't forget to Pray.. Amen

😢😪 My Momma died of pancreatic CA 3 weeks after her diagnosis of Stage 4 - she had a Stent placed to relieve pressure but was in constant pain - she passed March 8, 1997 @ age 60 while undergoing a Whipple Procedure - her hepatic artery was severed during surgery - surgery is a HUGE RISK as well. 🥶 I am STILL angry with the way she suffered pain & was let down by her doctors...there is absolutely NO NEED for anyone to suffer that much when there is a well-documented cause 🥺😡🙏

My best friend lived 5 weeks after diagnoses. She had adult onset diabetes about a year before. I read that was one of the symptoms, but we didn't know then.

So nice to hear the voices of those who have driven down the same street before us... Yet, no matter what, when, or where, we must all face our individual mortalities. Even minus our pancreatic cancer issues, we must all, even our closest loved ones, deal with one demon or another in due time. Love while you still can, say sorry often, and always consider the difficulties of others before ourselves. My Mom gave me such a great example of how to live just like that.

Nov 2022 mom 89 years Started turning Yellow. Her appetite was no good and was throwing up. For years was complaining about asking being Itchy !!!!! CT scan showed Tumor Blocking her Bile Duct . Dr say she too Old to operate and remove Pancreas. Just put a bag on her to drain the Biliburen. Passed away 26 Dec . Did not eat and basically Starved I miss her. She did not realize what was happening to her . Even if Tumor was Caught 8 years ago.- I doubted she would go ahead with the Operation. The to thing is Dad passed in August aged 85 years - Coronary plaque. Was a smoker for 30 years

Very informative thanks

My dear mum was itching everywhere...no pain, no weight loss. ...her body itch for 3 months (2021) as we waited for surgery she passed....we knew it was pancreatic cancer when the doctors told us a week to her demise...rest in peace mum . I still want answers coz mum lived a clean life with lots of water and less meat intake

This was the cause of my father's death in 2019. The doctors said it was Pneumonia when he first fell ill. I miss my dad so much. 😒

Very good video, right through the point.

The cyst on my pancreas has gotten bigger. And on my cervix. Always tired,no energy,Stomach hurts. Nausea. Not much appetite. I just want to go home. Worlds a horrible place.

Thank you for the update 👍

My mom passed away by pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the head of pancreas she died at 6/2/2024 I lost the most important person in my life i miss her a lot the life became without any meaning

My nono went to the doctor after having 2 months of pain ...they said he was fine...a while later I got the news he had pancreatic cancer if the doctors did the scans like he requested he would have had a chance . He died in 2022 I miss him dearly 😔

These all seem like late stage symptoms. My grandmother died due to PC and the only potential early sign she had was type 2 diabetes, but there was no cause to believe it was anything other than just that. By the time she suddenly became jaundiced, her diagnosis was terminal. She was given 3-6 months and survived about a year with treatment. This is why pancreatic cancer survival is ridiculously low: by the time you have symptoms, it's too late.

It’s so sad to see people suffering 😔😭😭😭 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 For a miracle

Saw it, felt it, said it, was ignored for a year. Went to my 4th doctor who despite amylase and lipase coming back normal, ordered CT testing which showed a 4cm pancreatic tumour.

Problem is that some people have NO specific symptoms, just a general feeling of malaise, like my sister who died a year ago with PC. She was finally taken into hospital with sudden & extreme pain, when PC stage 4 was diagnosed. From there to her death was a few excruciating painful & humiliating weeks.

My dad died from pancreatic cancer his was in stage 4 dad Rest In Peace 1937 - 2012 💙🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

My late husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after suffering a bout of jaundice. He was in theatre for the Whipple procedure, but it was too far gone and they simply stitched him up again. It had spread to his liver and was stage 4 - terminal. He fought for 4 months undergoing chemo and radiation. He passed away on 12 June 2015. I was relieved he was finally pain-free and at peace as his final days were agonising though I mourned his passing . So many mixed emotions😢. It is a dreadful form of cancer. For all who are fighting this disease, may God be with you and your loved ones who witness your suffering.

My dad got diagnosis stage 4. He lived less than 2 months. This was the worst thing I've ever experienced for him beyond the worst thing. If this is just starting in your life, I'm so sorry

Thank you for chairing your vedio .

Very useful & reassuring, thks

I lost my dear cousin Ann to this awful disease. Her doctor told her she was depressed

This snuck up on my mom as well. Stage 4 when diagnosed. Did the chemo thing, regretted it at the end. It didn’t change when she died except she was miserable for 90 days!

It may sound like I’m being a horrible person, but pancreatic cancer doesn’t have very good odds for longevity. Typically 6 months after diagnosis with adenocarcinoma. It’s a horrible disease with a short longevity. Just hug your loved ones and focus on keeping them pain free.
