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 unusual excessive burping for almost 5 months now. This symptom actually makes me very anxious as I read a lot on the internet that it is a telltale symptom of pancreatic cancer. I wonder how frequent this symptom is in real life.
Have anyone of you (patients) or relatives diagnosed with PC had brping as a symptoms before or after diagnosis; but not related to any medication or surgery?

Yes, I had onset of burping a few days after darkening of urine which was my initial symptom. The burping occurred in conjunction with eating. The tumor in the head of the pancreas was compressing my bile duct and that resulted in not having enough bile available for digestion. The tumor may also have interfered with an adequate amount of digestive enzymes. With incomplete digestion, food was fermenting as it mixed with bacteria in GI tract causing bloating. I had to burp frequently to get relief from the bloating in the stomach.

No. I was diagnosed stage III in Jan 2021 and have had Whipple surgery and chemo since.
