A few things, get a CA19-9 blood test if you haven't already, it is the marker for pancreatic cancer although it may be elevated for other reasons. Second thing, if it is cancer - don't panic but act speedily to get treatment. After diagnosis, speed to treatment in a hospital that specializes is key especially if you need Whipple procedure. Third thing is take everything on the Internet with two heaping spoonfuls of salt. All the survival statistics are OLD and terrifying - when I was diagnosed last December (it was found by accident, like you) everything I read said I had 3 months to a year to live. I had modified Whipple (left my stomach intact) on February 9th, just finished my 11th of 12 rounds of Folfirinox, no signs of recurrence or metastases. Life is good, so hang in there!
