I have a sister that went through a procedure to remove her pancreas and she is cancer free for 3 years, My younger brother was diagnosed about 18 months ago and was not as fortunate as he has only weeks left to live. I am exhibiting some of the same symptoms they had and am going for adnominal MRI with Contract next week. Concerned that I am headed for the same fate as my brother. I am 68. I have been healthy as I frequently exercise, non smoker, mild drinker and I do not have the gene mutation.
Current symptoms started 6 weeks ago with cramping, loose stools (liquid) and just this week pain in my back.
I spend winter in South Florida and will be headed back to the Philadelphia are for more testing.
Are there foods or drinks I should gravitate towards to slow this down?

@colony501, I can imagine that you are concerned. You mention that you do not have the gene mutation. Has you family done genetic testing for familial pancreatic cancer? Have you had the MRI yet?
