Stop what you’re doing now and go and get it checked out.
The sooner they get it the better.

I had strange symptoms that were easily passed off as indigestion or whatever. Meanwhile a cancer was growing up and around my pancreas. The surgeon said it was like it had grown arms and legs and was bear hugging my pancreas, oh and it’s grab onto your main artery too. 18 months if ya lucky.
Due to the these Doctors and chemo, that some knuckleheads wanna bag, I am alive 2,5 years and counting, 9% will make it to 5 years and I am making plans for more.

Go and get it checked out, and get a second opinion to be sure. Quite often the miss diagnose, we are all human. It sounds like a pain in the ass, but ya ass don’t hurt when ya dead.

Let me know how ya go, and as others have said if you wanna, PM me.

Mate I’m currently going through this right now I was misdiagnosed for months with pancreatitis when in fact it was well far worse. I can’t stress enough what your saying get checked and then get checked again because sometimes Drs get it wrong.

How far along was it when they finally caught it? How long do you have to undergo treatment?

A good few months longer than it should have, and I got dismissed along the way by the specialist.
I had major surgery in May then had 8 weeks recovery and now into my 5th cycle of 12 for chemo which will be roughly 6 months of week on week off treatments.

All too common in Australia these days. The GP's want you in and out with no script, no tests, just their medicare money and a 6 minute consultation. Much easier to write sick notes on a Monday without any risk. The specialists are know all smart asses and don't take you seriously. The system is becoming a joke. Some good docs out there of course, but lots of poor quality care nowadays.

Not the system it once was and sorry to hear you were dismissed.
