I will say prayers for your healing and return to good health.
22 years ago, suffering with a diagnosis of Sphincter of Oddi Disfunction, I had an obstructed Biliary Duct.
In total I had 3 ERCP procedures. A gastroenterogist who supposesidly was experienced in performing ERCP's during the 2nd ERCP placed a stent in the Biliary duct and perforated the duodenum.
Ended up in ICU for 2 weeks, suffered a bile burn on the pancreas, very ill. (NOTE: This happened 4 months before my daughter got married)
2 weeks following the the ICU hospitalization the stent became dislodged, 3rd ERCP to remove the stent. 2 weeks after this procedure, the gall bladder got infected, Energency surgery to remove the gall bladder.
( You Can't Make this S...T up)
Suffered with horrible pain, pancreatc enzyme abnormalities, pancreatitis. Diarrhea. Lost 40 lbs.
Fast forward to 2023, I have bouts of panreatitis, horrible abdominal cramping after eating heavy meals, can not digest fats, pain on upper rt flank of back.
With rest, diet restriction and acupuncture, the symptoms subside. Most recently had a MRCP and CT Scan everything looks fine.
My question is what were your symptoms with ductal cancer? I have lived with this for so long guess its the body's response to so much trauma.
Good Luck to you and
GOD BLESS!
Take care

Your symptoms are concerning. Pancreatitis can be a precursor to pancreatic cancer. (Read this long after diagnosis). Have you had an ERCP? I’d get a second opinion too. Do you have unexplained weight loss? Nausea and back pain to shoulders could be pancan symptoms. Itchy/ nausea/ jaundice - discolored urine and pale stools. You can have only one symptom or none.
