Yikes. I don't believe I have pancreatic cancer????
Hi, @emstorm - no, absolutely not; totally recognized that you have a different abdominal cancer than pancreatic.
However, the members here in this discussion on chronic diarrhea in the Mayo Clinic Connect Pancreatic Support group have talked about similar issues as you mentioned and may have some great ideas for you.
How's it going for you today?
