I am a big worrier when it comes to cancer...my dad had Lung Cancer at 55.

Recently I have lower back pain around the tail bone area...I also have some mid back soreness...usually better after I rest. I have lost no weight..no changes in appitite....no skin color changes...otherwise healthy.

I always imagine the worst...I'm a worrier...I admit it....I don't believe this pancratic cancer but I would like to rule it out?? Would there likely be some other vague symptoms that many would ignore?

Also, would a full battery of bloodwork tests show if some things were way off, and as a result further tests wwe're required.

I know that there are a lot of very sick people on the board and I am praying for each and every one.

Hello

Low back is such a common problem. You said that you have no reasons to have pancreatic cancer, but for some reason you are worried about it. If you are concerned enough you should go to a doctor. But pancreatic cancer can cause many symptoms, usually weight loss, jaundice etc.

best regards,
Leo
