Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms

Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms covers the causes, signs, symptoms and treatment, along with self help steps you can take to fight this cancer.

Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms

First, a personal story. 6 years ago, having some kind of persistent pain and discomfort, my brother was diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas. A month later he had surgery but it had already spread to the liver. They said he would likely not live more than a few months. We moved him to our house, got him the best private doctors we could find, but we could not help him. Eleven weeks from the time he was diagnosed, he was gone, at age 51.

Pancreatic Cancer Signs And Symptoms:

This is one of the most deadly cancers because, usually, by the time you have symptoms, it's already spread beyond our ability to treat it. Signs and symptoms include yellowing of skin and eyes, pain on the abdomen and back, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite and fatigue. Here are some recommended books on pancreatic cancer symptoms and treatment.

Pancreatic Cancer Causes:

While no direct cause has been reported, some of the factors that increase the risk of Pancreatic cancer are smoking, long-standing Diabetes, chronic Pancreatitis, family history. A general risk factor for cancer is weakened immune system due to disease, surgery, medications or poor diet.

Pancreatic Cancer Treatment:

This cancer is difficult to diagnose because there are no symptoms in the early stages and because , when symptoms appear, they match other diseases. Depending on the stage and location of the cancer, surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy may be used. If the cancer has not spread beyond the pancreas, therapy can be successful, but, as stated earlier, it's very unlikely to find pancreatic cancer in the early stages. In later stages, often the therapy concentrates on the comfort of the patient.

Total Healing:

Cancer is at best frightening, frustrating and painful...at worst, fatal. We both know there are no guaranteed cures or quick fixes, whether medicine, nutrition, herbs or anything else. Many illnesses are "incurable" from the medical standpoint. So far, that's usually the case with pancreas cancer. The good news is, complete healing is possible...including mind, body and spirit...from God. Even if He doesn't heal your body, if you connect with Him, now, He will keep you with Him, in total health, forever. When it's time, your family can join you. To connect or reconnect with God, go to Help From God.
