What were your symptoms of pancreatic cancer?

Had CT of chest and EKG last week..CT showed pulmonary fibrosis all lobes..EKG normal...have history of PE...but that was ruled out . Reviewed with PCP. Made pulmonologist appt with pulmonary function tests prior to appt May .Ccf not anxious to schedule quickly.. Have too many symptoms to followup on...which do you choose? Breathing or GI symptoms? I get the feeling they are not anxious to work on a 76 yr old body that is at the end of it's lifespan..sadly

You sound like an RN. I am a "retired RN". I had mid back pain only & that was attributed to arthritis (DJD) of my spine, like what did you expect. I did have some indigestion but at 72 (then) that could also be diet related. When I got a CT for having been off smoking for 15 years & then there was a something going of with my pancreas, maybe, I got a PET scan & as you say, very long wait to see GI so I contacted Mayo in Jacksonville, FL. They got me in quickly! Did some tests & confirmed my dx of Pancreatic cancer stage 4 inoperable. After I saw my local oncologist and had my port installed, I finally got calls from GI in the area. Try Mayo! You would advocate for your patients! Advocate for yourself!
