Probably PC and PC are very different diagnoses! Get a definite diagnosis before it’s too late. Don’t let them put you off like my sons doctors did for three months only to find he was stage IV metastatic inoperable cancer. Get to a gastroenterologist and get scans, blood test, and any other tests that need to be done. Look for any swollen lymph glands. Get proactive about the disease and tests that need to be done. Where any tumor is located within the pancreas and the spread of the tumor is major in making decisions for the result. My son found out maybe a little too late to help him without trials and I blame inexperienced doctors for that! What doctor sees swollen lymph glands and no other problems exist without doing further tests or referring a person to a gastric doctor. So, again, get proactive and get to a gastro dr that knows what he’s doing! I wish you luck and many prayers because it’s a roller coaster ride with this disease. But get to a gastro doctor!

This what happened to my sister in law went to hospital a few months ago for abdomen pain he said leukocytes in urine probably bladder infection she showed him lympnode swollen at her clavicle and he said take that up with family doctor and gave her antibiotics.
Now she is in stage 4 metastasized to her liver big mass behind her stomach in operable. She has 6 year and 9 year old waiting for their mom to come home.
She is in excruciating pain needs morphine drip every 2 hours. I feel hospitals here in Canada are so slow with finding the problem that now it’s spread to other organs. So not fair.
