Concerned: I'm beginning to suspect I have pancreatic cancer

I will be praying for you. I also have been concerned about myself. I do have 2 cysts on pancreas and my lipase is low. I have been asking my GI doctor in Atlanta to please do further tests. H said for me to wait until next December for my MRI with/w/o contrast. Sorry to say this but my stool is oily/greasy. So the stool elastase test for PC?

Yeah, the elastase test can show pancreatic insufficiency, which is typically caused by either pancreatitis or PC. I also have oily/greasy stools. I would definitely advocate for yourself to get the MRI sooner just to be safe, even if that means getting a new GI. Your concerns should not be dismissed. Thank you for the prayers ❤️
