hi everyone,
this is my first post here, and i didn't want to start off with, [ this is how i feel, and what do you think ].
i am wondering where the best place to go for information relating to pancreatic cancer might be on the internet, or might there be a good link here on this forum ??
i have done the google search for symptoms of pancreatic cancer, and those sites all say about the same thing. is there a more informative site that i might go too ??
i have been seeing many different doctors over the last 1 1/2 years, and have been getting many different oppinions on my illness.
all of my searching has lead me to the possibility of pancreatic cancer, and i want to go to the doctor with as much info as possible on this subject in comparison to my symptoms.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks
ron

Hi Ron. Sorry to hear about your health concerns. If I read your post correctly, you have not been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer yet? If not, you really do need to keep working with your medical team. There is no way that you can find on the internet anything more than what they already know. If you do not trust them, then find other doctors that you do trust.

The good news is that you probably do not have Pancreatic Cancer. If you did have it for over a year, you would be a lot sicker and there would be no doubt in anyone's mind what is going on with you.

Keep us informed.

thanks for taking the time to respond to my post jim.
i had another family doctor apointment today, and i discussed the possibility of pancreatic cancer with them.
i recently had a colonoscopy, and a scope ran into my stomach, along with a lot of blood work done. the family doctor stated that nothing came up in the testing that leads to problems with my pancreas. that was good news, so far.
she did say that i need to discuss my conserns with the doctors that performed the colonoscopy, and probably need to get a ct scan done.
so that is where i am at right now. my next appointment isn't untill the end of november, so i get to be sick for a while longer.

thanks
ron
