Long standing symptoms and nothing on CT scan: Does it happen often?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (43)Comment receiving replies
I have been having weird GI symptoms for more than 7 months, done everything possible to find the cause however none was found.
Recently I am having abdominal and back pain that are sometimes intolerable.
CT and MRI done within the last few days were negative. No suspicious finding seen by the radiologists.
I had a GI consultation today, the doctor still suspects PC and requested EUS to rule it out .
I am terrefied now but can't think of anything.. even can't cry ..the past months were very hard...my life was on hold ...I don't remember how normal life feels like anymore .

I have had difficulty with getting adequate calories without any fat. I did purchase some MCT oil but haven't used. I am interested in knowing about any experience people have had with MCT oils.

Your story is a difficult one. The EUS seems like it is the next step. Best of luck in getting answers. If you don't have pancreatic cancer, hope that you will be able to get a diagnosis of the cause of the symptoms and treatment to make you feel better. As a pancreatic cancer patient. my intestinal symptoms have been a major issue in quality of life. Pancreatic insufficiency is the cause, it has taken me a while to adjust the dosing of the pancreatic enzymes. It is difficult to not be able to go out as much because of the intestinal symptoms. I don't like to eat away from home and need to be conscious of the location of the bathrooms when I am out in public. This has become my new normal. I continue to work on the issue and hope that I will at least be able to go out in public places more easily.
