Please help me. My world is falling apart.

Posted by needhelp123 @needhelp123, Apr 3, 2022

I'm 25 years old. My sister is 18. My mom went into the hospital last week because she had stomach pain and they initially said constipation. She had 0 other symptoms apart from that pain in her stomach, and blood results and everything else came back fine. The next two doctors she went to said it was probably pc, and that there was no cure as the mass looks big and they said they see two spots on her liver I think. We are still awaiting the 100% results but the doctors said that it is 98% the case. My family is family apart, please tell me there is something we can do, though she said she won't be doing chemo. I need help. I can't lose her.

So sorry to learn about your sister-in-law, but it's not necessarily your health system. PC is rare, about 3.2% of all cancers. Plus, symptoms are very vague and it is not uncommon to not have any symptoms until it has spread to other organs. Early diagnosis often happens from a scan looking for something else. There are major efforts in play to find clues to early detection. PanCAN organization has lots of info regarding this problem.

That would be a good question for your doctor or radiologist. I had an MRI today, get a CT tomorrow. I'll be asking that question.
