Can you tell us a bit more? What symptoms do you have, what doctors have you seen, and what tests have you had? I think you can trust the doctors to be honest if they are clear as to what the diagnosis is. What are the doctors saying is wrong?

My mother's was not diagnosed until she had signs of jaundice (yellowing of whites of eyes). But in hindsight, she had other symptoms but could be explained by other reasons.
One reason pancreatic cancer is not diagnosis early is many symptoms are similar to other disease.
The only way to truly diagnosis is testing.
To read about all symptoms and testing, see https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatic-cancer/symptoms-causes/syc-20355421
