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

I hope you don't have PC but if you do know that people with stage four have miraculously beaten it fifteen years ago and moderate on Cancer Connect PC group. Symptoms sound awful. i am in chronic pain and have PC but the pain is from back not the cancer reoccurrence. I would see a Pain Dr as well. I know how frustrating it is to be in chronic pain and it sucks. Good Luck!

I'm sorry to hear that you're in so much pain. How long have you been living with PC?
My pain comes and goes, in my muscles and joints, but it's intense when it occurs. I'm awaiting the results of my head MRI. My blood work indicated that I'm on the low level of normal when it comes to creatine kinase, which can indicate muscle wasting due to illness, but my PCP is not concerned because she says that muscle damage would instead be indicated by a high level of CK. I'm consulting with a functional medicine specialist on Monday afternoon, and I'm hoping and praying that he'll order the blood work (for TNF alpha, IL-6, myostatin, etc). and more detailed imaging (such as MRCP) that might reveal more about what's going on with my body and in particular with my pancreas.
