You can find out if there is any pancreatic insufficiency which could be a factor in the symptoms. Learn as much as you can. I believe that when you learn more, you will be less anxious. You will also be able to better understand what your providers are talking about. A pancreatic center of excellence is key. The national pancreatic cancer foundation has a listing of the centers of excellence. If you have access to one of the top cancer care centers, this is also quite helpful.
Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Care Center, New York, NY
Dana Farber Cancer Center, Boston Massachusetts
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland
MD Anderson, Houston Texas
