Pancreatic Cancer

The bad news is that there aren’t any steadfast screening prospects for pancreatic cancer yet. So, those who are at risk should have regular ultrasounds and MRI/CT imaging tests done. Individuals with this type of cancer usually need chemotherapy and surgery.

Radiation can be used to reduce tumors when they can’t be removed. But you should be aware that not all doctors agree with this method. Surgery to fix this aggressive cancer type is only possible in up to 20% of cases.

Pancreatic cancer is aggressive, and the bad news is that it often proves to be fatal and causes painful symptoms like:

-Ascites, which is when fluid builds up in your abdomen
-Stomach pain
-Bleeding
-Blocked bile ducts

  1. Colon cancer preventable, eh? WITH INSURANCE, our quoted share for a screen was $1800 dollars! OUR SHARE WITH INSURANCE! We noticed that now it is required that it be done in a FACILITY (triggering a “facility chg”); anesthesia (anesthesia chg + anesthesiologist) and 1 other I can remember. These used to be done in a doc’s office. They gave u 1 pill to relax u, & u could watch the whole thing being done on the screen.
    Inflated prices, unnecessary rules, & ppl with insurance paying for those without.
    So how many of u are rushing out to pay for ur $1800 roto rooter check?

  2. I was diagnosis with endometrial cancer and had the proverbial surgery (stage 3). All I was told was “we have a lot of work to do” – no explanation of what was or is – see me in 3 weeks (which I only got to see his nurse). I had to wait 5-6 week before I could get an answer if this was fatal or not. SO NEVER BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE ON TV OR READ. I had to do my own research on treatments/cancer/etc. there was no compassion, etc. The medical end of this diagnosis sucks. You are on your own. Was even told KEYTO was part of the treatment because the “advertisement says so”. What a way to go.
