Hi Tom,

I had an MRI (I believe) and there were lumps on my prostate and liver. An MRI was scheduled six months later to check on the liver. In the meantime, I had a prostate biopsy that confirmed that I had prostate cancer. I was to have Brachytherapy for the prostate. However, after the second MRI, there was a growth on the pancreas. A CT scan and an endoscopic Ultrasound were performed. The CT scan showed that there was no cancer in the bones. However, the endoscopy showed that there was cancer in the pancreas. As a result, the Brachytherapy was canceled. Shortly afterwards, I had an ultrasound endoscopic liver biopsy and this showed that there was cancer in the liver. I am just waiting to hear from the oncology specialist.

I believe that is what has happened.

Other than being tired, I was not really exhibiting any symptoms. My feet did feel different, sort of like there was a layer of fat on the soles of my feet. I have since looked at the symptoms of pancreatic cancer and there are many symptoms but these two stood out for me and they did not seem all that dangerous.

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with hemochromatosis. My body would not get rid of the iron in my blood. I had some phlebotomies and did get it under control. I was tired at the time and I think that the tiredness went away but still lingered on.

Warm Regards,

Glenn
