I am dismayed by the treatment I received from my Dr, most of my family have died from cancer, my mother and younger brother within the last 3 years, therefore I am high risk for cancer. In October 2016 I went to the Dr complaining of stomach pains and loss of Appetite, these symptoms would last about a week. I didn't see my own Dr, however Gall stones were suspected and she sent me for an ultra sound which was negative . The ultra sound found no evidence of Gall stones but the attacks continued. I went back to the surgery and saw my own Dr who told me there was nothing wrong . A couple of months later I turned yellow and itched terribly, the Dr then sent me for blood tests and a CT scan, it showed I had Pancreatic cancer, hoping for a potentially life saving major operation , I had further tests that showed a spread to one of my lungs, ruling out surgery . I am on palliative chemo now with no cure.
