My dad passed away in may 2022. Never had symptoms, he enjoyed an healthy diet, active lifestyle, no smoking or drinking. He was the best man in the world. Found the tumor in the tail and it was everywhere. Literally everywhere. I lost my dad in 20 days. Never seen something so cruel, devastating and fast. I had no time to even realize it.
I'm so sorry for your loss May God grant you peace that goes beyond all human understanding I lost my mother in law in Sept to this And my father in law to it 10 years ago
May I ask, what type of treatments you received. My 51 year old nephew just passed away 2/3/2024 and battled with pancreatic cancer for only 2 years, he participated in experimental studies, spent in excess of $120,000, which his friends donated to a gofundme for him.. He was Loved by everyone who met him, over 500 people attended services for him! I miss him so, he was like a son to me
My Dad was having vague abdominal symptoms, the Doc thought he had diverticulitis and put him on Metamucil. Then one night he had terrible abdominal pain 3 times, he said he felt like he was being sawed in half. It took 3 bouts of this pain to convince him to go to the hospital and he took a cab. He was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. The oncologist said there was a low chance of chemo helping, and then only for a few months, so he declined chemo. I moved him down with me for the last 5 weeks of his life and got him on hospice. His pain was well controlled and I gave him what ever he wanted to eat. He got so thin his pacemaker wires were visible. Hospice was great and Dad was very appreciative of all they and I did for him. Dad died at 82, quietly and comfortably and I still miss him every day. I hope they can make progress in treating this terrible disease.
Oh gosh. I am so sorry you both went through this--all of it! I wish doctors would listen to patients when they say something is really wrong with them. I'm very lucky to have the doctor I do, and I never forget it. Peace to you and your family ❤
In March of 2021, my sister was taken by ambulance to the hospital. She had been sick, her blood sugar level was 538. And she was not diabetic. Her colon was blocked but the worst thing was cancer in the head of her pancreas. Didn't find it anywhere else. Whipple procedure was done. She is still alive and well today.
@@peggycushenIt's a big surgery, where gallbladder, duodenum and parts of the pancreas or the whole pancreas (I lost the whole and am diabetes type 3 now) get removed.
My wife complained of a nagging lower back ache. After a lengthy diagnosis process, doctors said 'pancreatic cancer, stage 4'. They immediately did the 'Whipple Procedure', very major surgery that took months to recover from. Then, 6 months of several different chemotherapy treatment plans. Sadly, it had spread to her liver and part of the bowel. Twenty months into her ordeal, she passed away. Warning to all; NEVER IGNORE a lower back ache. That's the only symptom she had, besides a little bit of unexplained weight loss. Very healthy, otherwise. She was 57.
Yes, my friend had lower back pain and made several trips to her GP and had an X-Ray with nothing showing up. she went on to get stomach aches and it then she was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer
stop placing this in all the videos- you are advertising I saw you on other videos. smh this is a serious topic don't take advantage of people this way.
My Dad passed away in 2011 . Diagnosed in May , gone in September . Stage 4 . Didn't have weight loss , yellowing of eyes . Just his glucose went up , the dr put him on shots . He was in such pain before he passed . I was giving him morphine . He never deserved to pass away like that ! I miss him terribly , everyday , every week , every month , every year . My Dad , the best ! ❤️ Til I see him again ❤️
February 2024, 3 years post whipple procedure. Grateful to live in UK and NHS. Had the best team looking after me. No evidence of disease at present. Love , hope and kindness to all who experience this cruel disease.
My mom died of pancreatic cancer and she never lost weight. Her early signs were pain and discomfort but Dr's response was she was neurotic. A year later she got to a specialist who opened her to investigate, closed her and 30 days later she was gone. 😢 Dad's throat tumor was diagnosed as a stroke and he was given speech therapy!! 😢 It's mind boggling what goes on.
I'm so sorry for your loss , it's very sad to have this happen to our loved ones , you are not alone with your grief, always remember that , and the good times ! 🙏
Thank you for speaking up about Pancreatic Cancer. It’s a devastating disease. I watched my sister die a slow and torturous death from it. Hers was in the tail, so had none of the symptoms like people get when it’s in the head, i.e., itching and jaundice. She was 51. Her first ‘sign’ was what she thought was indigestion. She came over and asked for Tums, something she never took or asked for. She ate a Mediterranean diet I guess you could say, lots of fish and seafood, all very healthy. She was super active. She went for a scan. Her first scan showed nothing. She went back again with her husband (a pharmacist, they owned a pharmacy together) and they found a tumor, but said it was *benign* - laughable! They made her wait 8 weeks for surgery which is inexcusable. We tried to get her in anywhere we could, quick. Unfortunately by the time they opened her up, the “benign” tumor had grown from 4.4cm and had metastasized into her lymph nodes and abdomen. They had to sew her back up, and chemo it was. Chemo did nothing but prolong a life that was already suffering miserably. Her pain was off the charts and it seemed that no one understood that; she was undermedicated. No one should ever have to go through what I saw her go through. She went from 5’7 and 125 pounds to around 80. The only thing that helped her, until she could no longer eat, were edibles we were making for her. Please give patients the pain medicine that they NEED! Terminal patients are severely undermedicated and there’s NO reason for that!! I’m so relieved that she’s at peace now. She passed on my Dad’s birthday. My Mom has never been the same. She still, 7 years later, can’t look at my Sister’s Facebook. She loves photos but can’t handle her FB. No family should have to go through this. I’m sharing this with the hope that it may help someone. If you have a pain in your abdomen and you don’t usually have one there, please get it checked out! If you keep ignoring it, like she did, you’ll find out when it’s stage 4 and has already spread, it’s pretty much too late. Take care of yourselves, and each other. And listen to Dr. Mike and pay attention to those risk factors! (Although my Sis had none of them).
My deepest condolances..I am so sorry for such an enormous loss Although I can never say I know exactly how you feel...that would be insulting to you...I will say that my experience and journey when my husband died at 39 years old was so much the same. The pain ..his as well as all that love him is Pallapable. I am touched by your story and you sharing it with us. You are in my prayers...May God bring you and your family great comfort and peace.Bless you all!🤗
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family sorry. Bout your loss I pray the Lord be with you leave this thought with you, To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord ❤️🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
It's always very sad, frustrating, & disappointing when it comes to our pitiful healthcare system today. I have been a critical care healthcare provider since 1975, & the system is harming me today, too. I would never have done some of the things these not-so-good healthcare providers are doing today.
My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 83 but you could never tell he looked younger and was so vibrant. He was so strong and active he was never home always at work from sunrise to sundown. He dedicated his time to social activism once he retired. One day he complained of upper back pain and had some unintentional weight loss like 40 pounds in three months. By the time he decided to see a doctor he was very weak. He only completed one round of chemo. He started declining right after. He passed away three days after his first chemo treatment. The pancreatic cancer had spread to his liver lungs and brain. On April 8th is the first year since his passing and I’m still numb and unable to fully grieve. He was so strong, selfless, generous and just a real stand up guy! We miss and love him dearly.
My NP didn't even tell me I had fibroids I had to go to medical records Myself and then find out. Later on I find it is late I had to have a hysterectomy. I want to sue her so bad
Doctors are quacks… only surgeons have my respect. If ur not dying they’ll just say “it’s just anxiety” or “your fine, we’ll check up on you a couple months later” like bruh we KNOW something is wrong with our bodies u scammers help us diagnose it at least
Yes it's pathetic. They call theirselves doctors but there is no evidence. They have million dollar technology that shows them the problem and they will say that they don't see anything. Doctors are the indirect cause of death.
Currently my mom doesn’t know if she has or not. The doctor at Kaiser say they don’t want her to come back if she’s in pain because they can’t do anything about it and they also don’t think she has anything wrong with her. Now after looking at her symptoms and telling me how she’s feeling I’m terrified so I’ve been treating her before she goes back to get another scan :(
My first wife had abdominal issues in the year leading up to something being Very Wrong. In early 2002 she was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. She received treatments and did her best, but she died in late 2004. We were 35 years old. She was a nonsmoker with no known risk factors. The universe simply decided to cause her immense pain for years, dash her hopes for a future, and then take her away from me as she writhed in agony. Pancreatic is the worst cancer. I hope we can find a cure someday.
@@koreyb My wife's diagnosis was documented and given to us by the head of surgery, who'd decided not to operate based on a CT guided biopsy he'd ordered. We trusted his decision, having learned enough about her condition and the team at the hospital. She and I knew it would be cancer before he said so. But, she didn't want to be told she had little time to live. She had already decided (at age 32) she wanted to try everything possible, so she could fulfill her dream to be a university professor in her field, having been awarded her PhD months prior. And neither of us wanted her to die, for both of us. When the doctor was ready to speak, she interjected, "Before you tell me, I must say that I don't want to hear the prognosis or any timelines. I just want to know what my options are." The surgeon honored her request, and she went into treatment with hope. She did endure difficulty, but for nearly two years, the treatments helped. She felt better, even though the chemo and radiation took different tolls. The right pain medication (which had taken some months to find) combined with the treatment enabled her to live. And live she did. She taught university students for a while as an adjunct professor. And we enjoyed each other, as we wanted. But it's true ... closer to the end of her life, she longed for an easier way out. And I don't blame her one bit. At first, the tumor was confined to the pancreas, but it was inoperable because it had encased arteries in a way that prohibited surgery. Treatment forced the tumor to shrink temporarily, but eventually the cancer spread to distant sites (bones, kidneys). We knew her disease had crossed a threshold. It was indeed a hopeless situation. But, everyone's case is different, and for a time we had a very strong hope. It sounds odd, but I cherish those days, weeks, months when she was "well" inside her illness, even though reality loomed large. I'd give anything to have eased her suffering at the end. I wish I could go back and do something differently, though it wouldn't have made a difference. Today, I can simply acknowledge that I'm glad people talk about this particular cancer with awareness. And I hope in future that another 32 year old woman with brilliance and a bright future can be cured.
It is painful and really destroys people, on my case we are trying our best Best medication is too expensive so we are trying Keto and metabolic, it may not work. It depends on God but not trusting authorities and not giving up are crucial.
My sister passed away in 2009 age 44 from pancreatic cancer. She had no symptoms until it was too late. Feb. 25 is when she passed. I miss her so much. 😔
My dad had it in pancreas and liver. He only lasted 5 months after diagnosis. It was heartbreaking to watch him go downhill so fast. He had itchy yellow skin, rapid weight loss, back pain, digestion issues and brown urine. He also had white faeces. Please get yourself checked if you have any of these symptoms
My parents and 3 of my 4 siblings died of Cancer. My one living sibling survived breast Cancer. I am the only one who has not had Cancer to date. I do have a mutation that predisposes me to pancreatic, stomach and breast Cancers. I appreciate all of the information that you provide. Thank you so very much.❤
It’s weird how some people don’t ever get cancer when many of their relatives have. It takes the perfect combination to flip that switch inside the body and trigger the cancer cells. Everyone has cancer cells in them but the immune system keeps them in check. The perfecto storm of genes, diet, outside chemicals, lifestyle, viruses and stress trigger it. It’s insane.
i'm so sorry about your losses. i can't imagine how difficult and anxious-causing it is to lose so many relatives from cancer. i pray that you never get it
@@jaydenp4975 Absolutely irrefutably true. Your statement is the most spot on accurate comment I have seen regarding cancer. Most people don't realize that we all have cancer cells at any given moment but it's our immune system that keeps it in check until the perfect storm flips the switch and all you can do is either slow the train down or knock it off the track
I know a woman who was treated for pancreatic cancer and is living past 5 years. Truly amazing! Another person I know who only lived a few months, was female, very thin and did not smoke. 🤷♀
And that is why 'at scale' or population studies are done.... so scientists can determine with greater confidence what parameters, risks, outcomes, etcetera are. Subjective studies, not anywhere near as useful.
Excellent video! I had every symptom,went from 212 to 149 in 6 mos. Most gawdawful pain and nausea,absolute torture. 6 mos of tests,nothing ever showed up. When it was time for feeding tube,I was like no way. Weird thing,my granddaughter was born and her presence gave me so much positive energy that I was able to eat,retain a calorie or two plus the pain wasn't as bad. I began to recover,sure blew me and the doc's aways,since there was no rhyme or reason. Eat well,exercise,and love somebody...it'll do you wonders. Thank you,Universe.
My husband died 38 years ago, aged 33. He had cancer of the liver, with secondary in the pancreas. At the time there were less interventions and treatment options. He was not a smoker or a drinker, but he was always very lean in stature.
Could it really be the other way around? Cancer of the liver spread to the pancreas? It's always cancer of the pancreas spread to the liver. Like my husband.
My husband died from pancreatic cancer. He did not smoke, did not drink, we ate a reasonable diet of meat and vegs, we did not eat lots of proccessed foods. He was not overweight and his job allowed him to do a lot of exercise during his day. He did not have diabetes. He never took a sick day off work for the 20 years I knew him. He got acute abdominal pain. It took doctors MONTHS to diagnose him despite numerous ambuilance and hospital stays due to the severe pains. I feel he may have had a better chance of surviving longer than the 5 months he lasted after diagnosis if the doctors had just run a scan a lot earlier, instead of telling him it was IBS, and giving him enemas. The length of time taken to diagnose this agressive disease is horrendous. It should be discounted early on in the process, not left as a last ditch effort to diagnose from the doctor's surgery chair.
My first nursing school patient was a pancreatic cancer survivor (Whipple) Pretty cool! She was about 5 years out at the time. Hope she's still defying the odds
@@taylormade4393 did I mention she was a 5 year survivor of pancreatic cancer I feel like alot of people would think that's cool But you don't and that's ok
I've been curing cancer for 10 years but most people don't believe me. 1 gram of cannabis oil a day for 60 days has cured every form of cancer I've ever heard of. Stage 4 pancreatic we have cured 3 times in a row, and stage 4 lung cancer 4 times in a row. Please listen and do some research if you want to help me change the world.
I remember having dinner with a family once, I asked the owner of the place about these antacids he had sitting by his plate. He said he was suffering with a lot of indigestion. It was about two or three months later he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died roughly six months later. But that was about his only symptom as I recall.
My mother died from pancreatic cancer at age 60. She'd spent at least one, more like two or three, years going from doctor to doctor for her pain (and some weight loss toward the end; don't remember any jaundice), who kept saying that they couldn't find anything, and so it had to be psychosomatic. Thinking about it still makes me furious. When a young female doctor finally immediately realized what it was during a routine checkup, she never came back home and died in the hospital two months later. Never smoked. Somewhat overweight, but not obscenely so. Developed lactose intolerance. Her sister is diabetic.
Could have been Parasites infesting the ducts throughout the digestive system causing inflammation of pancreas, liver and gallbladder ducts leading to metastasize tumors..remove the parasites..the body can heal...
@@redsloane9905 yeah i believe it. But I know that happens to us guys too. Hasn't happened to me personally yet, but I've heard of it happening to others.
My younger brother died of Pancreatic Cancer in 2013. He lived about 2 1/2 years after being diagnosed. I don't think Chemo and radiation are the right way to treat any type of cancer. The misery of Chemo and Radiation is brutal and painful. I still remember at the end he was just a skeleton. We were hoping that some new treatment would come and save his life but it did not happen. He finally lost his battle on January 9, 2013. It is a very sad state of affairs that we spent billions on developing weapons of mass destruction but collecting donations for cancer and other serious and fatal diseases. We must change our priorities and pay attention to humanity.
My father died in 1970 at age 54 of pancreatic cancer. He went in the V.A. hospital in Los, Angeles, CA in late October of 1969 and died the following February. The doctors didn't suggest anything and his care was mostly palliative. He had been a smoker since age 10.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Shocking and devastating. I lost my husband to cancer at age 45, then 20 years later, my boyfriend to pancreatic cancer too. Horrible, wasting disease. Hugs to you 💔
My uncle was finally diagnosed in December after going to the ER several times over the previous months, and told it was indigestion. He finally got a ct scan but only because his son is a dr and we pushed for it. It was a devastating diagnoses. He tried surgery and chemo, but 6 months later he had passed. Such a wonderful man. The medical system really let him down.
To be honest it’s not the medical system to blame.it’s literally like finding a needle in a haystack for many victims till it becomes widespread through other neighboring organs.
That's why I hate going to the Er cause you tell the doctors what you are going through and they ignore you saying your fine there's nothing wrong it's all in your head...😥
I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis in July of 2022 at the age of 84. My first symptom was diarrhea anytime I ate food. The doctor said the calcifications in my pancreas were scattered, some in the head, body and tail. The first CT scan did not show anything, 3 months later the second one with contrast showed the calcifications. At my age I have come to believe that I am not high priority by any doctors I have seen about this. To old for that kind of surgery. I think they just want me to go away and die somewhere else. The real expert has canceled two appointments on short notice and I had to call and make a new one. I am getting the message. Trying to find a new expert.
Sorry to hear about your difficulties. You may be suffering from epi (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) which is common with chronic pancreatitis. Enzyme production significantly drops. Can hapoen at any age. I am diag osed at 36. Common with people with cystic fibrosis and pancreatitis.
@@richiep3520 I was diagnosed with EPI ten days after the start of the diarrhea. I saw the "experts" nurse practitioner and she ordered the stool test and a CT Scan without contrast. Saw her twice and she put me on Creon 36000. Took 25 days to finally see the "expert". He spent all of 3 minutes to tell me what she had already told me, He prescribed cholestyramine to control the diarrhea I was still having,(had lost 30 pounds) pushed on my stomach and set up a tele-med call for 4 weeks later. Four weeks later wanted to do an MRI. I had told him on the initial visit that I had 4 total joint replacements and an MRI would jerk all that metal out. He set up another tele-med call in 4 more weeks. On that call he mentioned MRI again. I reminded him of our earlier talk and told him no MRI. Stopped taking the cholestyramine because it created sever constipation. He set up an in office appointment for 4 weeks which he canceled 3 days before it was scheduled. His Nurse Practitioner ordered a CT scan with contrast. He called me and said I had a few calcifications in my pancreas and said I had chronic Pancreatitis. I now have an appointment in 4 weeks which will be my last one with this "expert".I simply want a picture of the calcifications to see where they are and how they are slowly killing me.
Oh no. That is just awful. Yes, find another expert and immediately tell them what you have been through with current medical care, perhaps tell them they were recommended by someone because they care about the elderly. They will want to help you resolve your issues so as not to be like those other indifferent specialists. Good luck.
Pancreatic cancer is almost a guaranteed death sentence. It’s good that it is rare compared to other cancers. I have automatic respect to anyone who has fought and survived and my heart goes out to all who has passed from this horrible disease.
🙏🏽prayers to everyone who has loss someone to this terrible disease! I had a uncle and friend passed away from this ! As a hypochondriac I should not be reading/researching because it takes control of my thoughts/body etc.
My grandma was diagnosed with stage 4 a couple years ago and died 2 months ago. She was only given a few months, but she took part in experimental treatments/trials which extended her time by well over a year. This is a nasty cancer because you have no symptoms until you’re literally about to die.
No my friend that is a myth told by the amERRORican healthcare system. They want people to believe there are no signs or symptoms but it's not true. There is always either a sign or symptom no matter how subtle it is. It could be as subtle as a pain in the back or side or stomach that occurs around the same time that you might have done some type of activity so you chalk it up to being associated with that and then it comes and goes. The signs and symptoms will not always be constant but they are always present no matter how subtle. Something else to consider is that grandma's don't always say when something is bothering them.
@@SnackJar cyber knife was the treatment that worked the best. It cleared all the cancer from her spine, but it didn’t work as good for the cancer in other places.
My brother was a runner, healthy, did smoke and rarely drank . He was a healthy weight and very healthy. He was diagnosed right after Christmas and passed February 4th, 2021. He was so brave.
My husband too. I know its hard. I'm just happy he's not in pain anymore.. 💔 The way I think of it is everyone is going to die one day. But at least he was prepared to go. I was talking to my mum about this, would you of preferred he got hit by bus and died instantly?? No, cause at least mentally we all knew it was coming, and we got to say our goodbyes Stay strong ❤❤❤ God willing you will get to meet him again 💖 afterlife there's no more pain or diseases, everything will last forever! Another thing I would tell my mum (my mum was very emotional during this time) If there was no suffering in this world then this would be considered heaven. Then there's nothing to look forward too 😆 You got this sweetie 🙂 you are also very brave and so strong ❤
How is this possibly? Do you have any idea in his case what could have caused it? Water sources? Pesticides in salad ingredients? Carcinogenical environment?
@@hadriusreznor3247 Modern diets aren't helping either with heating up plastic that can be absorbed into our foods. But honestly, It can be triggered by anything, most the time we won't ever know. I know it's scary. But looking too much into the cause can drive you crazy. Just enjoy life honestly. If you can have less sugar that would be good, as cancer cells feed off it. I know someone that starved their cancer cells into remission by doing "carnivore diet" (as this is no sugar diet) Quite a few people i know also cured it with Miira-cell (red packet) few of them was stage 4 as well and well above their 50s
I don't understand why blood tests aren't more advanced these days to identify many diseases like the various types of major cancers. My dad died of stage 4 lung cancer last year and 3 months prior to his death his blood work didn't look too bad. 💔 😫
Im wondering if I should spend $1000 on Galleri multi-cancer early detection test that looks for DNA in blood of 50 cancers. Insurance won’t pay. OneTest looks for pancreatic, colon, lung, kidney, ovarian, and bladder cancers based on tumor DNA in blood and AI. What’s your opinion on these Dr Hansen?
I get plenty of blood work done annually as part of my annual checkup and I still find it hard to believe that all these cancers can be that stealthy. Do you know what exactly was checked in his lab work?
I agree they need to develop more specific testing. And they need to use the available tests we have, and not be so stingy with ordering them. She had survived lung cancer and Melanoma twice. My mom had osteoporosis in her spine. In the summer of 2014, she was having a lot of back pain. I took her to her ortho doc, who took a bunch of xrays. Her spine only showed osteoporosis. By Feb 2015, her right arm was swollen...no tests were done. They ordered her a sleeve for her arm to decrease the swelling. In June she had bad right hip and back pain and wound up in the ER. Her x-rays of her hip showed a shadow in her hip and femur. Turns out it was metastatic breast cancer, from her right breast and spread to her back and right hip and femur. Should the ortho doc ordered a CT or MRI? I think so. Should her primary or gyn doc think to do a mamo or ultrasound to check on her breast and lymph nodes? I think so. They knew that cancer ran in her family....herself, both parents, sisters, brother, and including 1 daughter. Sometimes you have to be an advocate and scream some sense into the doctors!
15 years ago, I kept having problems with my gallbladder. I didn't have stones, but I had a lot of sludge driving me bonkers. So, I went into the hospital for a cholecystectomy and after my doc removed it, she gave it a good once over before she sewed me up. She didn't like the looks of the lining of my gallbladder so she sent a slice off to the lab. It came back stage 0, precancerous tissue. She told me afterwards that no one is diagnosed with gallbladder cancer because it was exceedingly rare and rarely had signs that would tell you if something was wrong until you are about 2-4 weeks palliative. Dr. Mike, are there any signs of gallbladder cancer that you could pick up on at an earlier stage? God bless my surgeon. She checked my lymph nodes to make sure it hadn't spread. And I'm alive today because of her.
I would like to hear more of your story. Would you mind looking at my video and letting by me know of what was happening as I’ve been given the run around from doctors. I’m trying to get onto what is happening. Many thanks
It isn't so much a question of what the oublic should not ignore. It's what frontline doctors and nurses miss, often causing fatal delays to diagnosis.
My aunt was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. They have yet to say which stage. She’s had symptoms for the last year and she believed it was menopause. I look back and she did all the things that were said to be symptoms. Pain in her back, itchy skin and even a tint of jaundice. I want to believe she’s gonna be at her daughter’s graduation next year and her sons two years from now. That vision is blurred now and I can’t help but cry all the time. Both kids aren’t even out of HS and they will be dealing with the big battle of cancer. I just wish I could go back and tell her to get checked sooner. If I had known Any of these symptoms I would have made it a clear objective of mine for her to get treatment earlier. I don’t even know what to say to my cousins.
I’m so sorry to hear that . Please investigate about cds or mms. There is a book about how to use it , please google it. You can find the free pdf because Amazon don’t allow to buy it anymore 😢. The name is “Forbidden Health” incurable was yesterday by Andreas Kalcker. I hope this can help. Please don’t give up .🙏🏻
My dad died of pancreatic cancer at 63, only 52 days after he was diagnosed. He was healthy and active his whole life. Never drank or smoked, was not overweight. He had vague abdominal pain and started to lose weight without trying, and then came the jaundice. I miss him every day.
I am not yet 60, ever been in shape, eating healthy doing sports nearly every day, non smoking, non drinking - but had a "pancreas divisus" and got pc. It can be lifestyle, it can be genetics or even morphologic issues, which rise the risk...😧 Hugging you🙋♀️
Really appreciate your delivery. Straight forward and to the point on each point. No padding, just facts. Very rare. Fast pace keeps listeners into it. Nice!!
My stepsister is in the very last days of life from pancreatic cancer. She always ate organic, healthy foods, was very physically active, perfect weight, non smoker, has been a nurse and married to a doctor. She also had a happy, cheerful personality and many close friends. By all counts she lived the perfect, healthy life. She may not last to the end of this week.
Please pray for me! I’m busker in the United States. Recently, I was diagnosed with terminal cancer in January 2023 but I had a greatest miracle in my life. All tumor was gone completely in 20days by the grace of God. I feel like having a second life. IT IS THE REASON WHY I STARTED TH-cam. I‘m trying to encourage and pray for cancer patients and families who are extreme suffering and pain by difficult circumstances. God is alive and do not afraid of cancer. We will get the miracle in Christ. I will pray for you!
Please pray for me because after I got covid & long covid almost 3 years, I have all sorts of health issues. I really need a miracle & blessing from God & universal
In 1995, a close friend of mine killed himself. An autopsy revealed stage 4 pancreatic cancer. His doctor's had repeatedly ignored his symptoms. Unfortunately, his symptoms started shortly after lower back surgery. So they attributed his pain and other symptoms to surgery recovery complications. The worst part is, that they thought he had become a drug addict, since he was requesting more and more pain medication, which they eventually refused to prescribe. Shortly before killing himself, he called me and said that the only relief he could find, was running a scalding hot shower on his back until the water heater tank ran out. Then he'd wait an hour, and do it again. Weirdly, he often discussed the fact that he feared being in pain due to illness. He also believed in aggressive pain management. So sad, since he was unable to get pain management, due to incompetent doctors. He had every symptom mentioned. Yet, he never knew he had pancreatic cancer. He was 50.
My Mom died of pancreatic cancer after 15 months diagnosed. She passed peacefully in her sleep. Doctors estimated maximum,6 months to live and prescribed morphine in case the pain hit. She lived up to 15 months and did not complain any pain could be because she followed the macrobiotic diet after her surgery. She passed on Christmas day, long ago.
Sad to hear this. Am just about to have my PET Scan anytime now. I don't know anymore whether I would consent to a chemo later. I wish I can find a better way not a toxic way that would kill me even sooner.

You can find the free pdf because Amazon don't allow to buy it anymore and the name is "Forbidden Health" incurable was yesterday by Andreas Kalcker. I hope this can help. Please don't give up.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Went through it 9 years ago, biggest symptoms was shitting water, constant dehydration and loosing weight, luckily, my doctor caught it early, nuclear/ ct and pet scans. Urine and blood tests. Whipple procedure and clear ever since. I was luckier than most!
Prior to the diagnosis, they found I had helicobactor pylori, causing ulcers, they treated that, and presumed that was it. Symptoms continued, my doctor had a hunch, and sent me for a octreotide scan, found 2cm tumour in the neck of my pancreas, and a couple of smaller ones in my duodenum. Nexium was hiding my symptoms in the early stages. Hope this helps.
People always tell you to "not ignore the signs" but strategically leave out that diagnostic work and treatment will put you and your entire family in a lifetime of debt that is arguably worse than just dying outright
Reding all these testimonials is reallly painful. What human beings go through. We live in 2023. and instead of having ways of early detection for horros like this one, the world is at such a bad place. As if there"s not enough suffering already
I agree!!!! It's 2024, where the hell are the cures???? I know we have a cure for this. Where is it and why is it not being shared with the public??????
My cousin sister paused away 2 days back (20th June, 2023) with this deadly disease. In Jan, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cyst and doctors did surgery but didn’t do biopsy of that cyst. Later , on 25th May she had a followup appointment with doctor just to see if everything is alright. She drove by herself to the hospital and did complaint to doctor of weakness and dizziness but little did she know, it’s going to be dark day for all of us. Doctor did some blood test and they found out that something was wrong near her pancreas area. They recommended her to go for PET test where she was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. From that day onwards her health started to deteriorate and literary became worst in no time. She was just 38 survived by her husband and 10 year old son. It’s so hard to believe that she is no more 😢. Our family has no history of pancreatic cancer or any cancer but god knows what happened to her. I am still crying while I am typing this post 😢 Also, she didn’t experienced any symptom except blood in stool which she didn’t notice 😢
Cancer is so strange, and random, unfortunately. I’ve seen very healthy people get it, little kids… I think it all comes down to living as healthy as you can, and hope for the best. My mom was really healthy and had cancer 3 times in her lifetime, til stage 4 colon took her away. “F” CANCER!!!
I'm 37 but I've been ready to die since 24. If i get diagnosed with cancer it ain't surprised me because i drink heavily and smoke lots of weed and did meth in my 20s. I'm actually hoping death comes sooner than later.
Death is part of life??? What? Are you serious?? OMG this is unbelievable! You talking about the same prayers which work about as well as chance? The same prayer which is essentially the same thing as doing something while actually doing nothing at all?
Well said, Death is a part of life - the universe is almost 20Billion years old and you’ve been dead for that long - so relax and just enjoy your time here, regardless what is thrown at you…
my father had a whipple operation and chemotherapy last year, he's recovering but his bowels are still an issue we're happy he had problems with his gallbladder which caused him to go to the dr. and catch the pancreatic carcinoma quite early
We lost my Mother In Law a little over a year ago to pancreatic cancer. She was stage 4 and knew that the survival rates were low so she opted to not go with Chemo and instead enjoy her final months with our family. She lived and active and happy life almost right up to the day she died by managing the pain with medication. A week before she passed away she was enjoying a day at the beach with her sisters and the night before she passed away while in hospice she left my wife a beautiful voicemail message. We received the call the next morning that she wasn't expected to make it through the day. We were blessed that we were able to spend her last moments with her and we miss her every single day. If I'm ever diagnosed with this horrible disease I'm going to do deal with it the same way she did and not spend what little time I have left suffering through chemo therapy.
Hi, i'm so sorry for the loss of your mother inlaw from this dreadful disease. Knowing that it was stage 4 and metastasized, i believe she made the right decision not to go through chemotherapy. I'm so glad she got to live a happy and memorable life until her passing. However, I do want to let you know that there is hope. Pancreatic cancer treatment has advanced a lot since the past decade and now the triple combination drug Folfirinox chemotherapy treatment seems to work wonders in the treatment of this disease. Of course, the only effective cure is still the whipple surgery ( usually only 20% of diagnosed patients qualifying for the procedure) with the plan of treatment being chemotherapy followed by surgery and then more chemo. Every individual reacts and responds differently to chemotherapy. My mother (diagnosed stage 3 ) who is 80 years old tolerated chemotherapy reasonably well. Aside from the debilitating fatigue in the early rounds (which seemed to improve reasonably each progressive chemo treatment) and mouth sores (towards the end of her treatment sessions) she did not have any nausea/vomiting, diarrhea or hair loss (usual side effects). By the 8th round of chemotherapy, her tumor had shrunk remarkably well (evident from her blood labs CA 19.9 tumor markers) for her surgeon to approve the whipple surgery for her. This December 13th, mom had her whipple surgery performed successfully and the surgeon was confident that he was able to section all of the tumor at the head of the pancreas and surrounding bile duct. She is presently recovering at home and making steady progress every passing day. Mom is expected to complete remaining 4 rounds of chemo once she is fully recovery from her surgery. We feel blessed and remain hopeful that she will be able to beat this disease.
My dad never smoked or drank alcohol. He walked every day after he retired. This sudden back pain came out of nowhere. He went to the doctor, and they said it was arthritis. And so a month went by and we noticed weight loss and he always felt full. We knew something wasn't right. He was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in February of this year and we had to bury him in April. It snuck up on him and it was so fast.
I got pancreatitis all I had eaten was an apple with almond butter! Maybe :30 mins later I was doubled over with gastritis! I was cutting a client’s hair , I said I’ll be right back and got some apple cider vinager to drink. I did finish her and went to sit up front and one of my coworkers asked me if she didn’t to take me to the ER! I said no just have gastritis! I was able to check out go to the bank and home. Took me 2 days to figure out that anything I ate would cause the same systems! I found out later a stone from my gallbladder threw a stone in my common duct, which caused it. 😮
Don’t eat and go to the doctor don’t drink alcohol for sure. Mine was caused from a stone from the gallbladder. I have heard of people having gallbladder surgery and they didn’t all the ducts and there was another stone in one of the ducts! I had to stay over night for a MRI to check all the ducts.
My brother passed away so quickly from this horrible undetectable cancer. Started March 20,2016 suddenly ,vomiting and pale stools . Went for CT scan March 29th..confirmed pancreatic cancer stage 4 :(. Then they went in to see if they could do surgery, but unfortunately it was far too late. It already spread to his lymph nodes,liver. They had to perform special surgery April 1st to attach is bowel to his intestines as he couldn't go to the washroom. Sent home April 15th started chemo and it took him down so fast. He went from a very physically strong man @ 190 lbs to 120 lbs. He passed May 28th at the age of 56, not even 2 months from when he was diagnosed. They need early detection for this cancer it's usually detected when it's far too late.:(
Sorry for your loss. 🌹 My mum was 57 and she had a cough and was sent to the hospital, told it was pancreatic cancer she died 3 weeks later. We had 21 days, it took me 8 years to get over the shock and accept she was gone.
@@justtruth5855 so sorry for your loss too. It so hard to accept what this disease has done. It's been 6 years already, and I still can't believe he's gone.
Actually, it can be detected early. CA19 blood test, but most people blow off their symptoms as digestion or eating too much gassy foods. Take tums and feel better, pushing it off as digestion or heart burn. I'm guilty of it. I developed acid reflux 7 years ago. Ignored it as food related. Then last year I lost 25 pounds in 2 months without a diet change. Lost a total of 55 pounds so far and live in abdominal and back pains 24/7. My doctor is ordering a colonoscopy. He suspects pancreatic or stomach cancer. I DON'T want to know the results. White blood cells are elevated. I'm hoping it's not cancer, but it isn't looking good. Not sure yet if I will go through the colonoscopy out of fear of hearing the bad news. I'm 49 and will live with whatever my decision may be without regrets.
My father in law died of pancreatic cancer and it spread all over other organs. After he was detected with cancer he went downhill quickly . He lost a lot of weight . Only lasted around a week and a half. Hes no longer with us in person but i know hes watching over us and his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids
My mum passed away in 2014, diagnosed 30th. May, she passed 5 months later, her husband died of a heart attack June 30th, 1 month after her diagnosis, I had the honour of moving in with her to cate for her, we slept in the same bed, she died in her own bed at home in bed with me ...rip mum ❤
There have been too many people in my life who have had pancreatic cancer. Only one of them lived more than a year following diagnosis. That one is still living more than five years later. A couple were relatives and the rest were friends. The relatives were my mom and her brother. It's good to know the symptoms. My uncle knew something was wrong and had to go around his primary to get the appropriate scan. My mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomies with clean lymph nodes. She had indigestion following the second one and a week later was diagnosed with cancer in both her pancreas and her liver. That was almost 30 years ago so there weren't the diagnostics and treatments available now.
@@DiamondsRexpensive For my uncle, he needed a scan of his upper GI and his primary would only refer him for a colonoscopy which showed nothing. After several months of back and forth over it , he went around his PCP and got the upper GI scan which led to his DX. For my mom, the cancer in her liver and pancreas was too aggressive and advanced even by the time she discovered the breast cancer and the outcome likely would have been the same. On the other hand, with earlier detection and treatment, she may have had a better quality of life longer. My take away is that you have to be your own best advocate and be persistent when things are not right with your body. Pancreatic cancer is sneaky and historically hard to detect early--it usually has developed to an advanced stage before people know anything is wrong.
@@jdtown6585 more like if there was a God and then we would ruin everything on this earth by contaminating it, also bad dietary habits eating any kind of junk food and as a consequence, contracting any type of disease and to top it off, blaming God.
I had pancreatitis twice from alcohol. The first time even though the pain was great I got out of the hospital and i started feeling better and after a couple weeks i craved alcohol so bad so i tried a shot to see if anything would happen. Well in just a little over a week i was back to drinking the same amount of alcohol and around 10 days the pain started and I was admitted again. I always thought that childbirth and toothaches was the worst pain I ever had. Well pancreatitis was a 100 x's that. I have been out 2 weeks and will never touch a drop of alcohol. And i would highly recommend that people that drink a lot to be very careful. But now I'm still having discomfort and pain under my left ribcage and I haven't drank at all. I'm thinking it might be a flare up but I am also worrying that I don't develop cancer. I have pretty much most those signs, but no jaundice, no diarrhea. But alot of others i do. So I'm seeing my doctor and getting on it asap. Still I'm so very scared.
My middleschool football coach just died from this. Im 29 now, so he was my coach years ago. He surprisingly lived with it for 4 years, stage 3 initial diagnosis.
My diabetic sister was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor back in May 2023. Her symptoms are pretty much the same as described in this video with the exception of jaundice. She has loss significant weight; once weighing 160, she is about 100 lbs now. The physicians keep saying it isn’t malignant. But here it is, September and seems as if they are dragging their feet. They won’t insert a feeding tube, yet they took her into emergency surgery to remove her gallbladder. One physician diagnosed her with gastroparesis back in July. Prescribed her medicine because it took 4-6 hours to for her to digest an egg. She experiences extreme nausea and can’t keep anything down…only for a gastro doctor mention last week (August) and that he doesn’t believe it’s gastroparesis but the impact of the tumor positioned on the stomach that’s causing adverse digestion effect. Idk what to do. I feel super helpless. It’s so very frustrating.
Go to a different doctor or specialist. Don't put up with lazy, uncaring doctors ever. So sorry you are going through this and that your sister is suffering so much 💜
It is a very fast killer. Like everyone else, I followed Alex Trebek's pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and I think he died within two years of diagnosis. I've had friends diagnosed with the disease, and I was surprised at how much they maintained their health/appearance during the disease. No terrible weight loss, no jaundice, morphine drop to control pain.
My 46 year old friend was just diagnosed stage 4. He's been given less than 2 years. It's devastating. I had noticed he was losing weight all this last year, but I assumed he had been trying. I also assumed that it was common knowledge that unexplained weight loss was a sign that something could be very wrong. By the time he had pain it was way too late.

@@mikegutierrez6227I lost weight for 15 kg during covid 2020, I thought it was because of I took morning walk every morning for 40 mins, but mid of year 20, sudenly I got probs with urine and doctor thought it's an infection and gave me antibiotics but never cured for 2 monts , finally after labs check, changed docs from kidney docs to obgyn doc, I was diagnosed uterus cancer grade 1... yes, loosing weight without any diet is one of cancer symptons. Please eat less sugar, because cancer eats sugar. If you feel weak when you don't eat or drink sugarr/sweet foot or drink it can be also symptons of cancer or diabetic...
Because a lot of things would be found incidentally that would have otherwise not needed work-up or treatment; there’s a cardiologist on here that does a really good video on explaining this to non-medical folks! Highly recommend :)
@@taylorcervantes1995 I don't see why that's a problem. If there's an incidental finding that requires no treatment, then don't treat it. It seems like a small price to pay for potentially life-saving imaging. I don't know which cardiologist you're referring to, but I don't generally consume content intended for audiences without a medical background. The information is usually presented in a reductionist fashion without explicit detail or comprehensive explanations of the various mechanisms involved.
@@kentd4762 Given the current state of medical systems around the world, sure, but the larger question is why we aren't working towards making these imaging processes cheaper, more efficient, and more available to the general population. In the long run, imaging should be analyzed by AI and machine learning, rather than individual radiologists.
@@OrlandoAponte Agree I think that will certainly be the future for AI to diagnose. In the mean time I honestly fully agree with you and sadly I think there are different systems around the globe creating inequality as those who can afford the treatment and clearance to do so see to have access to more preventative or early detection measures I think things are changing and taking time to filter to the general population. For the masses of the worlds' population though, are some companies actually profiting off of issing treatment drugs to people? so that's' a whole other area of theory to consider is suppression of diagnosis and cures? (Change my mind!) just makes me think as you'd wonder that by now these sort's of issues shouldn't even be happening in our modern society.
My father died over 3 years ago from pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed at stage 4, it had spread to his liver and lungs. He died 5 weeks later..horrible disease.
73, cyclist, no car,exercise 5-6 days/week. I eat a massive salade for breakfast with organic tofu, kale etc plus organic olive oil/apple cider vinegar. Fruits, nuts etc during the day a bit of meat. So far no problems. Until I saw this. Great video that I did not enjoy. I'm thinking about clicking on the next one but I know I'm not going to enjoy that either so I'm going to go eat a carrot.

My friends stepfather died of pancreatic cancer at 60 years old. Lived a healthy active lifestyle and never smoked or drank alcohol. It’s a despicable cancer that normally isn’t diagnosed until it’s too late
Doctor Mike has done a video interview with doctor Berg, talking about repairing autoimmune disorders...including cancers...by using keto with intermittent fasting. I recommend that everybody watches that video...as there are many things that practicing doctors are not allowed to speak about, until such directives are allowed to be spoken about.
One of my Grandfathers passed away of it in 1974. At 80, he had some trouble walking; The doctors (stupidly) diagnosed his condition as 'arteriosclerosis. ' His telltales were loss of appetite and very significant weight loss. Well, it was 1974, and no one knew what they were doing.
Sadly this video like many others came 8 months too late. I lost a close friend to this in June. Abdominal pain for a few weeks was the only sign. They went to see a private GP on Tuesday 8th of June and they found a lump on the pancreas. On the 10th they told me they were going in for chemo the following week (15th) and there were no surgical options. On Friday 11th they messaged from hospital… unknown to me they were really sick. I asked if they wanted to be left to it and wait until they got back in touch after chemo. They said that was probably for the best and “but don’t think I am not thinking about you”. They died 9 days later… I never heard back
One of my neighbors died from pancreatic cancer last year, he was diagnosed and died only two weeks later at age 35, this cancer is the worst because it kills fast when it's too late to do something
He died from pancreatic cancer, age 67. Massive weight loss was the first I saw, appetite loss and I assume abdominal pain since he was turn on his sides on the hospital bed. This is a lethal terminal level type of cancer
Thank you. Cancer is preventable in most cases. Eating well and eliminating carbs, carbs turn to sugar, and eliminating sugar are great front-line defenses. I also only drink water I've personally filtered. The sad part is that veggies are grown in soils depleted in natural minerals. They are picked green, so they never develop ripeness. Just because a tomato is red in the grocery store does not mean it's ripe. However, junk food and processed foods are the biggest culprits. Herbicides and pesticides play a huge part in causing cancer, as well. Oats are not GMO. Therefore, two weeks prior to harvest glyphosates are sprayed on them. Farming techniques must change.
Veggies are carbs, I think you mean eliminating the bad carbs.Soybeans,an otherwise healthy food is sprayed with the same thing as Oats and basically ruined health wise.
Is Pancreatic Cancer genetic? My mother had this awful disease. Was diagnosed on Sept 4th and died 3 months later to the day. She had back pain (thought it was her mattress so she bought a new one). She was always trying to lose weight and thought she finally found the right plan because she was loosing weight finally. The last symptom was her throwing up a lot and she finally went to the ER. That is where she was diagnosed. Her doctor confirmed it the following week. She was given 3 months to live without chemo and 1 year with chemo. She opted to live without chemo because she felt she would be in more pain because of the chemo. She suffered a great deal in her 1st month after diagnosis because they couldn't get the pain meds right for her. It was only after hospice was called that they helped her with her pain. Morphine was finally administered to her the last week.
Yes. It is known that pancreatic cancer is more common in Ashkenazi Jews than in the general population. I was surprised the doctor did not mention this.
My MIL was treated for gastritis, diverticulitis and appendicitis before she was diagnosed with PC 6 months later. She died 3 weeks post diagnosis and suffered a hard 7 months prior. It is a horrific disease.
Woah, had ALL of those symptoms and surprisingly I was poo-poo-Ed when I tried to tell people I wasn’t feeling well and described the symptoms( and I was told I must just be nervous). Did have bad bowel situation, not sure about pancreatic inflammation, but had a couple cancers (not pancreas). Interesting. Had temporarily moved to Japan for what I thought would be a year or two training and experience program, and study. So I put up with being unable to suddenly eat fruits due to the exorbitant and shocking prices. I put up with suddenly having a dramatic increase in empty calorie carbohydrates and no time to little time to sit down to properly eat and digest. Lots more was happening including heavy exposure to chemicals, staying in smoke filled rooms that one could draw letters in and read them, or having to stay out in the hall when feeling sick from it, for which I was scolded and somewhat bullied. Times have greatly changed but health was definitely damaged, surprising since Japan also has such good food and famous green tea, which may have been a mitigating factor to all the smoke filled rooms for the health of many.
My husband was extremely fit for 69 years old. Never been in hospital. Worked until he was 67. No signs until his eyes turned yellow. Diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Died exactly 10 weeks from diagnosis. Such a cruel disease.

My father said everything started tasting bitter when he first noticed something was wrong. Then the yellowing of the skin got more noticeable. He passed away in 6 months after diagnosis. Get checked everyone and donate to good cancer research projects if you can.
My dad passed away in may 2022. Never had symptoms, he enjoyed an healthy diet, active lifestyle, no smoking or drinking. He was the best man in the world.

My Dad was having vague abdominal symptoms, the Doc thought he had diverticulitis and put him on Metamucil. Then one night he had terrible abdominal pain 3 times, he said he felt like he was being sawed in half. It took 3 bouts of this pain to convince him to go to the hospital and he took a cab. He was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. The oncologist said there was a low chance of chemo helping, and then only for a few months, so he declined chemo. I moved him down with me for the last 5 weeks of his life and got him on hospice. His pain was well controlled and I gave him what ever he wanted to eat. He got so thin his pacemaker wires were visible. Hospice was great and Dad was very appreciative of all they and I did for him. Dad died at 82, quietly and comfortably and I still miss him every day. I hope they can make progress in treating this terrible disease.

In March of 2021, my sister was taken by ambulance to the hospital. She had been sick, her blood sugar level was 538. And she was not diabetic. Her colon was blocked but the worst thing was cancer in the head of her pancreas. Didn't find it anywhere else. Whipple procedure was done. She is still alive and well today.
Good to read, had my whipple done in January 2023, hope cancer is done too...

My wife complained of a nagging lower back ache. After a lengthy diagnosis process, doctors said 'pancreatic cancer, stage 4'. They immediately did the 'Whipple Procedure', very major surgery that took months to recover from. Then, 6 months of several different chemotherapy treatment plans. Sadly, it had spread to her liver and part of the bowel. Twenty months into her ordeal, she passed away. Warning to all; NEVER IGNORE a lower back ache. That's the only symptom she had, besides a little bit of unexplained weight loss. Very healthy, otherwise. She was 57.
Yes, my friend had lower back pain and made several trips to her GP and had an X-Ray with nothing showing up. she went on to get stomach aches and it then she was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer

Thank you for speaking up about Pancreatic Cancer. It’s a devastating disease. I watched my sister die a slow and torturous death from it. Hers was in the tail, so had none of the symptoms like people get when it’s in the head, i.e., itching and jaundice. She was 51. Her first ‘sign’ was what she thought was indigestion. She came over and asked for Tums, something she never took or asked for. She ate a Mediterranean diet I guess you could say, lots of fish and seafood, all very healthy. She was super active.
She went for a scan. Her first scan showed nothing. She went back again with her husband (a pharmacist, they owned a pharmacy together) and they found a tumor, but said it was *benign* - laughable! They made her wait 8 weeks for surgery which is inexcusable. We tried to get her in anywhere we could, quick. Unfortunately by the time they opened her up, the “benign” tumor had grown from 4.4cm and had metastasized into her lymph nodes and abdomen. They had to sew her back up, and chemo it was. Chemo did nothing but prolong a life that was already suffering miserably. Her pain was off the charts and it seemed that no one understood that; she was undermedicated. No one should ever have to go through what I saw her go through. She went from 5’7 and 125 pounds to around 80. The only thing that helped her, until she could no longer eat, were edibles we were making for her. Please give patients the pain medicine that they NEED! Terminal patients are severely undermedicated and there’s NO reason for that!! I’m so relieved that she’s at peace now. She passed on my Dad’s birthday. My Mom has never been the same. She still, 7 years later, can’t look at my Sister’s Facebook. She loves photos but can’t handle her FB. No family should have to go through this.
I’m sharing this with the hope that it may help someone. If you have a pain in your abdomen and you don’t usually have one there, please get it checked out! If you keep ignoring it, like she did, you’ll find out when it’s stage 4 and has already spread, it’s pretty much too late. Take care of yourselves, and each other. And listen to Dr. Mike and pay attention to those risk factors! (Although my Sis had none of them).
I'm really sorry for your loss and to hear the pain your sister and entire family went (and is going) through.
My deepest condolances..I am so sorry for such an enormous loss
Although I can never say I know exactly how you feel...that would be insulting to you...I will say that my experience and journey when my husband died at 39 years old was so much the same. The pain ..his as well as all that love him is Pallapable.
I am touched by your story and you sharing it with us. You are in my prayers...May God bring you and your family great comfort and peace.Bless you all!🤗
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family sorry. Bout your loss I pray the Lord be with you leave this thought with you, To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord ❤️🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
It's always very sad, frustrating, & disappointing when it comes to our pitiful healthcare system today. I have been a critical care healthcare provider since 1975, & the system is harming me today, too. I would never have done some of the things these not-so-good healthcare providers are doing today.
Very sorry...such a young age. Peace be with you and your family.
My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 83 but you could never tell he looked younger and was so vibrant. He was so strong and active he was never home always at work from sunrise to sundown. He dedicated his time to social activism once he retired. One day he complained of upper back pain and had some unintentional weight loss like 40 pounds in three months. By the time he decided to see a doctor he was very weak. He only completed one round of chemo. He started declining right after. He passed away three days after his first chemo treatment. The pancreatic cancer had spread to his liver lungs and brain. On April 8th is the first year since his passing and I’m still numb and unable to fully grieve. He was so strong, selfless, generous and just a real stand up guy! We miss and love him dearly.
Ercilianew I’m so sorry about the loss of your dad. He sounds like a beautiful man and father. ♥️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I believe you’ll be together again. Until then he’ll be right there by your side ❤
@@Ercilianew I understand that now you can help spread the word of seeing your healthcare team.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
I don't know what it is about chemo that is making them decline quickly. I am sorry about your loss, I just lost a friend because of this.
Gosh. It's so sad reading all these stories where the medical profession didn't take symptoms seriously. I'm so sorry to all those people. ❤️
My NP didn't even tell me I had fibroids I had to go to medical records Myself and then find out. Later on I find it is late I had to have a hysterectomy. I want to sue her so bad
Doctors are quacks… only surgeons have my respect. If ur not dying they’ll just say “it’s just anxiety” or “your fine, we’ll check up on you a couple months later” like bruh we KNOW something is wrong with our bodies u scammers help us diagnose it at least
Yes it's pathetic. They call theirselves doctors but there is no evidence. They have million dollar technology that shows them the problem and they will say that they don't see anything. Doctors are the indirect cause of death.
Currently my mom doesn’t know if she has or not. The doctor at Kaiser say they don’t want her to come back if she’s in pain because they can’t do anything about it and they also don’t think she has anything wrong with her. Now after looking at her symptoms and telling me how she’s feeling I’m terrified so I’ve been treating her before she goes back to get another scan :(
Thats what they do.
My first wife had abdominal issues in the year leading up to something being Very Wrong. In early 2002 she was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. She received treatments and did her best, but she died in late 2004. We were 35 years old. She was a nonsmoker with no known risk factors. The universe simply decided to cause her immense pain for years, dash her hopes for a future, and then take her away from me as she writhed in agony. Pancreatic is the worst cancer. I hope we can find a cure someday.
I'm so sorry for your loss
@@christinabator5705 Thank you. I've learned to live with it, and I'm in a place of happiness.
@@koreyb sometimes the treatments lower quality of life and don’t really prolong it.
So sorry for your loss. I watched cancer slowly torture my sister over 12 months. It’s horrific.
@@koreyb My wife's diagnosis was documented and given to us by the head of surgery, who'd decided not to operate based on a CT guided biopsy he'd ordered. We trusted his decision, having learned enough about her condition and the team at the hospital. She and I knew it would be cancer before he said so. But, she didn't want to be told she had little time to live. She had already decided (at age 32) she wanted to try everything possible, so she could fulfill her dream to be a university professor in her field, having been awarded her PhD months prior. And neither of us wanted her to die, for both of us. When the doctor was ready to speak, she interjected, "Before you tell me, I must say that I don't want to hear the prognosis or any timelines. I just want to know what my options are." The surgeon honored her request, and she went into treatment with hope. She did endure difficulty, but for nearly two years, the treatments helped. She felt better, even though the chemo and radiation took different tolls. The right pain medication (which had taken some months to find) combined with the treatment enabled her to live. And live she did. She taught university students for a while as an adjunct professor. And we enjoyed each other, as we wanted. But it's true ... closer to the end of her life, she longed for an easier way out. And I don't blame her one bit. At first, the tumor was confined to the pancreas, but it was inoperable because it had encased arteries in a way that prohibited surgery. Treatment forced the tumor to shrink temporarily, but eventually the cancer spread to distant sites (bones, kidneys). We knew her disease had crossed a threshold. It was indeed a hopeless situation. But, everyone's case is different, and for a time we had a very strong hope. It sounds odd, but I cherish those days, weeks, months when she was "well" inside her illness, even though reality loomed large. I'd give anything to have eased her suffering at the end. I wish I could go back and do something differently, though it wouldn't have made a difference. Today, I can simply acknowledge that I'm glad people talk about this particular cancer with awareness. And I hope in future that another 32 year old woman with brilliance and a bright future can be cured.
If a doctor says your symptoms are imaginary or psychosymatic run, don't walk, to his exit door.
My sister is fighting now with this pancreatic cancer
I cry every time thinking of her, she’s 66
Still fighting
I’m praying for her every night 🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤
How is she doing now?
It is painful and really destroys people, on my case we are trying our best Best medication is too expensive so we are trying Keto and metabolic, it may not work.
It depends on God but not trusting authorities and not giving up are crucial.
My sister passed away in 2009 age 44 from pancreatic cancer. She had no symptoms until it was too late. Feb. 25 is when she passed. I miss her so much. 😔
@Destiny So very sorry for your loss. Sending love
Sorry for your loss. Can you share what her diet and lifestyle was like? Anything that might help others?
My sister also . She left in three months
My dad had it in pancreas and liver. He only lasted 5 months after diagnosis. It was heartbreaking to watch him go downhill so fast. He had itchy yellow skin, rapid weight loss, back pain, digestion issues and brown urine. He also had white faeces. Please get yourself checked if you have any of these symptoms
My parents and 3 of my 4 siblings died of Cancer. My one living sibling survived breast Cancer. I am the only one who has not had Cancer to date. I do have a mutation that predisposes me to pancreatic, stomach and breast Cancers. I appreciate all of the information that you provide. Thank you so very much.❤
It’s weird how some people don’t ever get cancer when many of their relatives have. It takes the perfect combination to flip that switch inside the body and trigger the cancer cells. Everyone has cancer cells in them but the immune system keeps them in check. The perfecto storm of genes, diet, outside chemicals, lifestyle, viruses and stress trigger it. It’s insane.
i'm so sorry about your losses. i can't imagine how difficult and anxious-causing it is to lose so many relatives from cancer. i pray that you never get it
@@janejustin1788, thank you! ♥️
@@jaydenp4975 Absolutely irrefutably true. Your statement is the most spot on accurate comment I have seen regarding cancer.

Do you get yearly screenings for those cancers? Can you get the screenings I.e. will the doctors let you?

I know a woman who was treated for pancreatic cancer and is living past 5 years. Truly amazing! Another person I know who only lived a few months, was female, very thin and did not smoke. 🤷♀
And that is why 'at scale' or population studies are done.... so scientists can determine with greater confidence what parameters, risks, outcomes, etcetera are.
Subjective studies, not anywhere near as useful.
What was her treatment?
@@deirdrekiely6187 I don’t know. I worked with her several years ago. She was treated at Froedtert Hospital’s cancer center in MKE.
Excellent video! I had every symptom,went from 212 to 149 in 6 mos. Most gawdawful pain and nausea,absolute torture. 6 mos of tests,nothing ever showed up. When it was time for feeding tube,I was like no way. Weird thing,my granddaughter was born and her presence gave me so much positive energy that I was able to eat,retain a calorie or two plus the pain wasn't as bad.

So young.... So sorry to hear that.
Could it really be the other way around? Cancer of the liver spread to the pancreas? It's always cancer of the pancreas spread to the liver. Like my husband.
Sometimes bileduct>pancreas>
My husband died from pancreatic cancer. He did not smoke, did not drink, we ate a reasonable diet of meat and vegs, we did not eat lots of proccessed foods. He was not overweight and his job allowed him to do a lot of exercise during his day. He did not have diabetes. He never took a sick day off work for the 20 years I knew him. He got acute abdominal pain. It took doctors MONTHS to diagnose him despite numerous ambuilance and hospital stays due to the severe pains. I feel he may have had a better chance of surviving longer than the 5 months he lasted after diagnosis if the doctors had just run a scan a lot earlier, instead of telling him it was IBS, and giving him enemas. The length of time taken to diagnose this agressive disease is horrendous. It should be discounted early on in the process, not left as a last ditch effort to diagnose from the doctor's surgery chair.
Can you tell me where the pain was? I'm worried about my symptoms

I remember having dinner with a family once, I asked the owner of the place about these antacids he had sitting by his plate. He said he was suffering with a lot of indigestion. It was about two or three months later he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died roughly six months later. But that was about his only symptom as I recall.
My mother died from pancreatic cancer at age 60. She'd spent at least one, more like two or three, years going from doctor to doctor for her pain (and some weight loss toward the end; don't remember any jaundice), who kept saying that they couldn't find anything, and so it had to be psychosomatic. Thinking about it still makes me furious. When a young female doctor finally immediately realized what it was during a routine checkup, she never came back home and died in the hospital two months later. Never smoked. Somewhat overweight, but not obscenely so. Developed lactose intolerance. Her sister is diabetic.
Sounds like my mother went through, endless tests, no diagnosis. Dr. thought it was all in her head and died at age 55.
So so sad. I’m sorry you two. RIP to each woman! ❤
Could have been Parasites infesting the ducts throughout the digestive system causing inflammation of pancreas, liver and gallbladder ducts leading to metastasize tumors..remove the parasites..the body can heal...

@@redsloane9905 yeah i believe it. But I know that happens to us guys too. Hasn't happened to me personally yet, but I've heard of it happening to others.
My younger brother died of Pancreatic Cancer in 2013. He lived about 2 1/2 years after being diagnosed. I don't think Chemo and radiation are the right way to treat any type of cancer. The misery of Chemo and Radiation is brutal and painful. I still remember at the end he was just a skeleton. We were hoping that some new treatment would come and save his life but it did not happen. He finally lost his battle on January 9, 2013. It is a very sad state of affairs that we spent billions on developing weapons of mass destruction but collecting donations for cancer and other serious and fatal diseases. We must change our priorities and pay attention to humanity.
My father died in 1970 at age 54 of pancreatic cancer. He went in the V.A. hospital in Los, Angeles, CA in late October of 1969 and died the following February. The doctors didn't suggest anything and his care was mostly palliative. He had been a smoker since age 10.
10??? Wow
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Shocking and devastating. I lost my husband to cancer at age 45, then 20 years later, my boyfriend to pancreatic cancer too. Horrible, wasting disease. Hugs to you 💔
My uncle was finally diagnosed in December after going to the ER several times over the previous months, and told it was indigestion. He finally got a ct scan but only because his son is a dr and we pushed for it. It was a devastating diagnoses.
He tried surgery and chemo, but 6 months later he had passed. Such a wonderful man. The medical system really let him down.
To be honest it’s not the medical system to blame.it’s literally like finding a needle in a haystack for many victims till it becomes widespread through other neighboring organs.
That's why I hate going to the Er cause you tell the doctors what you are going through and they ignore you saying your fine there's nothing wrong it's all in your head...😥
Chemo destroys the liver which is why many die from it.

I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis in July of 2022 at the age of 84. My first symptom was diarrhea anytime I ate food. The doctor said the calcifications in my pancreas were scattered, some in the head, body and tail. The first CT scan did not show anything, 3 months later the second one with contrast showed the calcifications. At my age I have come to believe that I am not high priority by any doctors I have seen about this. To old for that kind of surgery. I think they just want me to go away and die somewhere else. The real expert has canceled two appointments on short notice and I had to call and make a new one. I am getting the message. Trying to find a new expert.
Sorry to hear about your difficulties. You may be suffering from epi (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) which is common with chronic pancreatitis. Enzyme production significantly drops. Can hapoen at any age. I am diag osed at 36. Common with people with cystic fibrosis and pancreatitis.
@@richiep3520 I was diagnosed with EPI ten days after the start of the diarrhea. I saw the "experts" nurse practitioner and she ordered the stool test and a CT Scan without contrast. Saw her twice and she put me on Creon 36000. Took 25 days to finally see the "expert". He spent all of 3 minutes to tell me what she had already told me, He prescribed cholestyramine to control the diarrhea I was still having,(had lost 30 pounds) pushed on my stomach and set up a tele-med call for 4 weeks later. Four weeks later wanted to do an MRI. I had told him on the initial visit that I had 4 total joint replacements and an MRI would jerk all that metal out. He set up another tele-med call in 4 more weeks. On that call he mentioned MRI again. I reminded him of our earlier talk and told him no MRI. Stopped taking the cholestyramine because it created sever constipation. He set up an in office appointment for 4 weeks which he canceled 3 days before it was scheduled. His Nurse Practitioner ordered a CT scan with contrast. He called me and said I had a few calcifications in my pancreas and said I had chronic Pancreatitis. I now have an appointment in 4 weeks which will be my last one with this "expert".I simply want a picture of the calcifications to see where they are and how they are slowly killing me.
@@richiep3520 Yes definitely
Oh no. That is just awful. Yes, find another expert and immediately tell them what you have been through with current medical care, perhaps tell them they were recommended by someone because they care about the elderly. They will want to help you resolve your issues so as not to be like those other indifferent specialists. Good luck.

My grandma was diagnosed with stage 4 a couple years ago and died 2 months ago. She was only given a few months, but she took part in experimental treatments/trials which extended her time by well over a year. This is a nasty cancer because you have no symptoms until you’re literally about to die.
No my friend that is a myth told by the amERRORican healthcare system. They want people to believe there are no signs or symptoms but it's not true. There is always either a sign or symptom no matter how subtle it is. It could be as subtle as a pain in the back or side or stomach that occurs around the same time that you might have done some type of activity so you chalk it up to being associated with that and then it comes and goes. The signs and symptoms will not always be constant but they are always present no matter how subtle. Something else to consider is that grandma's don't always say when something is bothering them.
What experimental treatment?

I don't understand why blood tests aren't more advanced these days to identify many diseases like the various types of major cancers. My dad died of stage 4 lung cancer last year and 3 months prior to his death his blood work didn't look too bad. 💔 😫
Im wondering if I should spend $1000 on Galleri multi-cancer early detection test that looks for DNA in blood of 50 cancers. Insurance won’t pay. OneTest looks for pancreatic, colon, lung, kidney, ovarian, and bladder cancers based on tumor DNA in blood and AI. What’s your opinion on these Dr Hansen?
Meanwhile, headlines are telling you that dogs (and even some people) can smell cancer on your breath.
I have wondered the same thing about blood work. Maybe the doctor will address this question in future videos.
I get plenty of blood work done annually as part of my annual checkup and I still find it hard to believe that all these cancers can be that stealthy. Do you know what exactly was checked in his lab work?
I agree they need to develop more specific testing. And they need to use the available tests we have, and not be so stingy with ordering them. She had survived lung cancer and Melanoma twice. My mom had osteoporosis in her spine. In the summer of 2014, she was having a lot of back pain. I took her to her ortho doc, who took a bunch of xrays. Her spine only showed osteoporosis. By Feb 2015, her right arm was swollen...no tests were done. They ordered her a sleeve for her arm to decrease the swelling. In June she had bad right hip and back pain and wound up in the ER. Her x-rays of her hip showed a shadow in her hip and femur. Turns out it was metastatic breast cancer, from her right breast and spread to her back and right hip and femur. Should the ortho doc ordered a CT or MRI? I think so. Should her primary or gyn doc think to do a mamo or ultrasound to check on her breast and lymph nodes? I think so. They knew that cancer ran in her family....herself, both parents, sisters, brother, and including 1 daughter. Sometimes you have to be an advocate and scream some sense into the doctors!
15 years ago, I kept having problems with my gallbladder. I didn't have stones, but I had a lot of sludge driving me bonkers. So, I went into the hospital for a cholecystectomy and after my doc removed it, she gave it a good once over before she sewed me up. She didn't like the looks of the lining of my gallbladder so she sent a slice off to the lab. It came back stage 0, precancerous tissue. She told me afterwards that no one is diagnosed with gallbladder cancer because it was exceedingly rare and rarely had signs that would tell you if something was wrong until you are about 2-4 weeks palliative.
Dr. Mike, are there any signs of gallbladder cancer that you could pick up on at an earlier stage? God bless my surgeon. She checked my lymph nodes to make sure it hadn't spread. And I'm alive today because of her.
I would like to hear more of your story. Would you mind looking at my video and letting by me know of what was happening as I’ve been given the run around from doctors. I’m trying to get onto what is happening. Many thanks
It isn't so much a question of what the oublic should not ignore. It's what frontline doctors and nurses miss, often causing fatal delays to diagnosis.
I read that 36% of pancreatic cancer is missed on initial scans . Crazy
My aunt was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. They have yet to say which stage. She’s had symptoms for the last year and she believed it was menopause. I look back and she did all the things that were said to be symptoms. Pain in her back, itchy skin and even a tint of jaundice. I want to believe she’s gonna be at her daughter’s graduation next year and her sons two years from now. That vision is blurred now and I can’t help but cry all the time. Both kids aren’t even out of HS and they will be dealing with the big battle of cancer. I just wish I could go back and tell her to get checked sooner. If I had known Any of these symptoms I would have made it a clear objective of mine for her to get treatment earlier. I don’t even know what to say to my cousins.

My grandpa has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I hate cancer so much. I don’t wanna lose him. 😢💔
In 1995, a close friend of mine killed himself. An autopsy revealed stage 4 pancreatic cancer. His doctor's had repeatedly ignored his symptoms. Unfortunately, his symptoms started shortly after lower back surgery. So they attributed his pain and other symptoms to surgery recovery complications. The worst part is, that they thought he had become a drug addict, since he was requesting more and more pain medication, which they eventually refused to prescribe.
Shortly before killing himself, he called me and said that the only relief he could find, was running a scalding hot shower on his back until the water heater tank ran out. Then he'd wait an hour, and do it again.
Weirdly, he often discussed the fact that he feared being in pain due to illness. He also believed in aggressive pain management. So sad, since he was unable to get pain management, due to incompetent doctors.
He had every symptom mentioned. Yet, he never knew he had pancreatic cancer. He was 50.
My Mom died of pancreatic cancer after 15 months diagnosed. She passed peacefully in her sleep. Doctors estimated maximum,6 months to live and prescribed morphine in case the pain hit. She lived up to 15 months and did not complain any pain could be because she followed the macrobiotic diet after her surgery. She passed on Christmas day, long ago.
Sad to hear this. Am just about to have my PET Scan anytime now. I don't know anymore whether I would consent to a chemo later. I wish I can find a better way not a toxic way that would kill me even sooner.
@@bongablay2385 I'm so sorry to hear that. Please investigate about cds or mms.
There is a book about how to use it , please google it. You can find the free pdf because Amazon don't allow to buy it anymore and the name is "Forbidden Health" incurable was yesterday by Andreas Kalcker. I hope this can help. Please don't give up.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Went through it 9 years ago, biggest symptoms was shitting water, constant dehydration and loosing weight, luckily, my doctor caught it early, nuclear/ ct and pet scans. Urine and blood tests. Whipple procedure and clear ever since. I was luckier than most!
Prior to the diagnosis, they found I had helicobactor pylori, causing ulcers, they treated that, and presumed that was it. Symptoms continued, my doctor had a hunch, and sent me for a octreotide scan, found 2cm tumour in the neck of my pancreas, and a couple of smaller ones in my duodenum. Nexium was hiding my symptoms in the early stages. Hope this helps.
People always tell you to "not ignore the signs" but strategically leave out that diagnostic work and treatment will put you and your entire family in a lifetime of debt that is arguably worse than just dying outright
Reding all these testimonials is reallly painful. What human beings go through. We live in 2023. and instead of having ways of early detection for horros like this one, the world is at such a bad place. As if there"s not enough suffering already
But they have arrived to the moon and even mars ...any thing much more important than we people
I agree!!!! It's 2024, where the hell are the cures???? I know we have a cure for this. Where is it and why is it not being shared with the public??????
My cousin sister paused away 2 days back (20th June, 2023) with this deadly disease. In Jan, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cyst and doctors did surgery but didn’t do biopsy of that cyst. Later , on 25th May she had a followup appointment with doctor just to see if everything is alright. She drove by herself to the hospital and did complaint to doctor of weakness and dizziness but little did she know, it’s going to be dark day for all of us. Doctor did some blood test and they found out that something was wrong near her pancreas area. They recommended her to go for PET test where she was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. From that day onwards her health started to deteriorate and literary became worst in no time. She was just 38 survived by her husband and 10 year old son. It’s so hard to believe that she is no more 😢. Our family has no history of pancreatic cancer or any cancer but god knows what happened to her. I am still crying while I am typing this post 😢 Also, she didn’t experienced any symptom except blood in stool which she didn’t notice 😢
I am so sorry. Peace to you.
No it's because doctors ignore their patients most times let's be honest ..... 0:19
They don't talk about this enough the medical gaslighting is horrible
I agree. Same thing happened to my mother. Doctors need to be alert.
Cancer is so strange, and random, unfortunately. I’ve seen very healthy people get it, little kids…
I think it all comes down to living as healthy as you can, and hope for the best. My mom was really healthy and had cancer 3 times in her lifetime, til stage 4 colon took her away. “F” CANCER!!!
Well, "enjoy" is not the right word, how about I appreciate the videos. Mom survived colon and her best friend died of pancreatic. Thanks doc.
What stage was your mom’s?
Death is part of life. Be prepared to meet your maker everyday. Prayers for those that have to leave this world in pain.
I'm 37 but I've been ready to die since 24. If i get diagnosed with cancer it ain't surprised me because i drink heavily and smoke lots of weed and did meth in my 20s. I'm actually hoping death comes sooner than later.
Death is part of life??? What? Are you serious?? OMG this is unbelievable!
You talking about the same prayers which work about as well as chance? The same prayer which is essentially the same thing as doing something while actually doing nothing at all?
YOU be prepared to meet your maker. Don’t lecture us.
Are there people who leave the world smiling or laughing?
Well said, Death is a part of life - the universe is almost 20Billion years old and you’ve been dead for that long - so relax and just enjoy your time here, regardless what is thrown at you…
my father had a whipple operation and chemotherapy last year, he's recovering but his bowels are still an issue
we're happy he had problems with his gallbladder which caused him to go to the dr. and catch the pancreatic carcinoma quite early
Are you afraid of getting it. My grandfather died from it.
Someone said: "live every day like it's your last, because one day you'll be right"
We lost my Mother In Law a little over a year ago to pancreatic cancer. She was stage 4 and knew that the survival rates were low so she opted to not go with Chemo and instead enjoy her final months with our family. She lived and active and happy life almost right up to the day she died by managing the pain with medication. A week before she passed away she was enjoying a day at the beach with her sisters and the night before she passed away while in hospice she left my wife a beautiful voicemail message. We received the call the next morning that she wasn't expected to make it through the day. We were blessed that we were able to spend her last moments with her and we miss her every single day. If I'm ever diagnosed with this horrible disease I'm going to do deal with it the same way she did and not spend what little time I have left suffering through chemo therapy.
Hi, i'm so sorry for the loss of your mother inlaw from this dreadful disease. Knowing that it was stage 4 and metastasized, i believe she made the right decision not to go through chemotherapy. I'm so glad she got to live a happy and memorable life until her passing. However, I do want to let you know that there is hope. Pancreatic cancer treatment has advanced a lot since the past decade and now the triple combination drug Folfirinox chemotherapy treatment seems to work wonders in the treatment of this disease. Of course, the only effective cure is still the whipple surgery ( usually only 20% of diagnosed patients qualifying for the procedure) with the plan of treatment being chemotherapy followed by surgery and then more chemo. Every individual reacts and responds differently to chemotherapy. My mother (diagnosed stage 3 ) who is 80 years old tolerated chemotherapy reasonably well. Aside from the debilitating fatigue in the early rounds (which seemed to improve reasonably each progressive chemo treatment) and mouth sores (towards the end of her treatment sessions) she did not have any nausea/vomiting, diarrhea or hair loss (usual side effects). By the 8th round of chemotherapy, her tumor had shrunk remarkably well (evident from her blood labs CA 19.9 tumor markers) for her surgeon to approve the whipple surgery for her. This December 13th, mom had her whipple surgery performed successfully and the surgeon was confident that he was able to section all of the tumor at the head of the pancreas and surrounding bile duct. She is presently recovering at home and making steady progress every passing day. Mom is expected to complete remaining 4 rounds of chemo once she is fully recovery from her surgery. We feel blessed and remain hopeful that she will be able to beat this disease.
My dad never smoked or drank alcohol. He walked every day after he retired. This sudden back pain came out of nowhere. He went to the doctor, and they said it was arthritis. And so a month went by and we noticed weight loss and he always felt full. We knew something wasn't right. He was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in February of this year and we had to bury him in April. It snuck up on him and it was so fast.
My dad smoked 4 packs a day, & was Type 2. He died a week after diagnosis but from strokes. I’m grateful he didn’t suffer from end stage PC.
4 packs a day? oops, RIP🙏
I got pancreatitis all I had eaten was an apple with almond butter! Maybe :30 mins later I was doubled over with gastritis! I was cutting a client’s hair , I said I’ll be right back and got some apple cider vinager to drink. I did finish her and went to sit up front and one of my coworkers asked me if she didn’t to take me to the ER! I said no just have gastritis! I was able to check out go to the bank and home. Took me 2 days to figure out that anything I ate would cause the same systems! I found out later a stone from my gallbladder threw a stone in my common duct, which caused it. 😮
Did you have jaundice?
Yes I did , I was in the hospital for three days no food or water . The next week I got my gallbladder out!
@@swimfit57 What was ur other symptoms other than jaundice? And what advice what u give me2 avoid what u went thru, I'm going thru pancreatitis rn
Don’t eat and go to the doctor don’t drink alcohol for sure. Mine was caused from a stone from the gallbladder. I have heard of people having gallbladder surgery and they didn’t all the ducts and there was another stone in one of the ducts! I had to stay over night for a MRI to check all the ducts.
ouch. terrible. i feel your pain. could be a liver issue too making the sludge in the first place. The gallbladder is really just a sack.
My brother passed away so quickly from this horrible undetectable cancer. Started March 20,2016 suddenly ,vomiting and pale stools . Went for CT scan March 29th..confirmed pancreatic cancer stage 4 :(. Then they went in to see if they could do surgery, but unfortunately it was far too late. It already spread to his lymph nodes,liver. They had to perform special surgery April 1st to attach is bowel to his intestines as he couldn't go to the washroom. Sent home April 15th started chemo and it took him down so fast. He went from a very physically strong man @ 190 lbs to 120 lbs. He passed May 28th at the age of 56, not even 2 months from when he was diagnosed. They need early detection for this cancer it's usually detected when it's far too late.:(
Sorry for your loss ❤️ It sounds like the chemo accelerated his demise, just from your story.
Sorry for your loss. 🌹
My mum was 57 and she had a cough and was sent to the hospital, told it was pancreatic cancer she died 3 weeks later. We had 21 days, it took me 8 years to get over the shock and accept she was gone.
@@tioswift3676 yes he was already too weak for it.
@@justtruth5855 so sorry for your loss too. It so hard to accept what this disease has done. It's been 6 years already, and I still can't believe he's gone.
Actually, it can be detected early. CA19 blood test, but most people blow off their symptoms as digestion or eating too much gassy foods. Take tums and feel better, pushing it off as digestion or heart burn. I'm guilty of it. I developed acid reflux 7 years ago. Ignored it as food related. Then last year I lost 25 pounds in 2 months without a diet change. Lost a total of 55 pounds so far and live in abdominal and back pains 24/7. My doctor is ordering a colonoscopy. He suspects pancreatic or stomach cancer. I DON'T want to know the results. White blood cells are elevated. I'm hoping it's not cancer, but it isn't looking good. Not sure yet if I will go through the colonoscopy out of fear of hearing the bad news. I'm 49 and will live with whatever my decision may be without regrets.
My father in law died of pancreatic cancer and it spread all over other organs. After he was detected with cancer he went downhill quickly . He lost a lot of weight . Only lasted around a week and a half. Hes no longer with us in person but i know hes watching over us and his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids
My mum passed away in 2014, diagnosed 30th. May, she passed 5 months later, her husband died of a heart attack June 30th, 1 month after her diagnosis, I had the honour of moving in with her to cate for her, we slept in the same bed, she died in her own bed at home in bed with me ...rip mum ❤
Bless you
Thank you

Never ignore . Yes Im Cancer . Good advice.Thanks Magi
There have been too many people in my life who have had pancreatic cancer. Only one of them lived more than a year following diagnosis. That one is still living more than five years later. A couple were relatives and the rest were friends. The relatives were my mom and her brother. It's good to know the symptoms. My uncle knew something was wrong and had to go around his primary to get the appropriate scan. My mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomies with clean lymph nodes. She had indigestion following the second one and a week later was diagnosed with cancer in both her pancreas and her liver. That was almost 30 years ago so there weren't the diagnostics and treatments available now.
So what is the appropriate scan?
@@DiamondsRexpensive For my uncle, he needed a scan of his upper GI and his primary would only refer him for a colonoscopy which showed nothing. After several months of back and forth over it , he went around his PCP and got the upper GI scan which led to his DX. For my mom, the cancer in her liver and pancreas was too aggressive and advanced even by the time she discovered the breast cancer and the outcome likely would have been the same. On the other hand, with earlier detection and treatment, she may have had a better quality of life longer. My take away is that you have to be your own best advocate and be persistent when things are not right with your body. Pancreatic cancer is sneaky and historically hard to detect early--it usually has developed to an advanced stage before people know anything is wrong.
Please be tested for BRCA1 gene. It was what caused my husbands pancreatic cancer.
Lost 2 family members to this demon cancer. God bless all the victims and if I ever get it, I will not stick around to see it get me.

I had pancreatitis twice from alcohol. The first time even though the pain was great I got out of the hospital and i started feeling better and after a couple weeks i craved alcohol so bad so i tried a shot to see if anything would happen. Well in just a little over a week i was back to drinking the same amount of alcohol and around 10 days the pain started and I was admitted again. I always thought that childbirth and toothaches was the worst pain I ever had. Well pancreatitis was a
100 x's that. I have been out 2 weeks and will never touch a drop of alcohol. And i would highly recommend that people that drink a lot to be very careful. But now I'm still having discomfort and pain under my left ribcage and I haven't drank at all. I'm thinking it might be a flare up but I am also worrying that I don't develop cancer. I have pretty much most those signs, but no jaundice, no diarrhea. But alot of others i do. So I'm seeing my doctor and getting on it asap. Still I'm so very scared.
Thank you. My great aunt passed from this terrible disease. She was diagnosed, and gone in less than 2 months.
My middleschool football coach just died from this. Im 29 now, so he was my coach years ago. He surprisingly lived with it for 4 years, stage 3 initial diagnosis.
Thank you for your public service! Just knowing the symptoms can save lives!
My diabetic sister was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor back in May 2023. Her symptoms are pretty much the same as described in this video with the exception of jaundice. She has loss significant weight; once weighing 160, she is about 100 lbs now. The physicians keep saying it isn’t malignant. But here it is, September and seems as if they are dragging their feet. They won’t insert a feeding tube, yet they took her into emergency surgery to remove her gallbladder. One physician diagnosed her with gastroparesis back in July. Prescribed her medicine because it took 4-6 hours to for her to digest an egg. She experiences extreme nausea and can’t keep anything down…only for a gastro doctor mention last week (August) and that he doesn’t believe it’s gastroparesis but the impact of the tumor positioned on the stomach that’s causing adverse digestion effect. Idk what to do. I feel super helpless. It’s so very frustrating.
Fenbendazole
I'm sorry.
Go to a different doctor or specialist. Don't put up with lazy, uncaring doctors ever. So sorry you are going through this and that your sister is suffering so much 💜
Sending prayers 🕊
I wonder if weed will help with appetite and also pain.
It is a very fast killer. Like everyone else, I followed Alex Trebek's pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and I think he died within two years of diagnosis. I've had friends diagnosed with the disease, and I was surprised at how much they maintained their health/appearance during the disease. No terrible weight loss, no jaundice, morphine drop to control pain.
My 46 year old friend was just diagnosed stage 4. He's been given less than 2 years. It's devastating. I had noticed he was losing weight all this last year, but I assumed he had been trying. I also assumed that it was common knowledge that unexplained weight loss was a sign that something could be very wrong. By the time he had pain it was way too late.
So he was losing weight and didn't know what was going on in the beginning? ....Just curious cause I'm losing weight for no reason....
@@mikegutierrez6227 Yes. Please get a work up done
I'm so sorry to hear that. Please investigate about cds or mms.

@@mikegutierrez6227I lost weight for 15 kg during covid 2020, I thought it was because of I took morning walk every morning for 40 mins, but mid of year 20, sudenly I got probs with urine and doctor thought it's an infection and gave me antibiotics but never cured for 2 monts , finally after labs check, changed docs from kidney docs to obgyn doc, I was diagnosed uterus cancer grade 1... yes, loosing weight without any diet is one of cancer symptons. Please eat less sugar, because cancer eats sugar. If you feel weak when you don't eat or drink sugarr/sweet foot or drink it can be also symptons of cancer or diabetic...
Since many of these cancers can be identified via imaging, I wonder why yearly full-body imaging isn't common practice.
It would be nice, but resources (enough machines/availability, radiologists) and overall $$$...
Because a lot of things would be found incidentally that would have otherwise not needed work-up or treatment; there’s a cardiologist on here that does a really good video on explaining this to non-medical folks! Highly recommend :)
@@taylorcervantes1995 I don't see why that's a problem. If there's an incidental finding that requires no treatment, then don't treat it. It seems like a small price to pay for potentially life-saving imaging.
I don't know which cardiologist you're referring to, but I don't generally consume content intended for audiences without a medical background. The information is usually presented in a reductionist fashion without explicit detail or comprehensive explanations of the various mechanisms involved.
@@kentd4762 Given the current state of medical systems around the world, sure, but the larger question is why we aren't working towards making these imaging processes cheaper, more efficient, and more available to the general population. In the long run, imaging should be analyzed by AI and machine learning, rather than individual radiologists.
@@OrlandoAponte Agree I think that will certainly be the future for AI to diagnose. In the mean time I honestly fully agree with you and sadly I think there are different systems around the globe creating inequality as those who can afford the treatment and clearance to do so see to have access to more preventative or early detection measures I think things are changing and taking time to filter to the general population. For the masses of the worlds' population though, are some companies actually profiting off of issing treatment drugs to people? so that's' a whole other area of theory to consider is suppression of diagnosis and cures? (Change my mind!) just makes me think as you'd wonder that by now these sort's of issues shouldn't even be happening in our modern society.
My father died over 3 years ago from pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed at stage 4, it had spread to his liver and lungs. He died 5 weeks later..horrible disease.
73, cyclist, no car,exercise 5-6 days/week. I eat a massive salade for breakfast with organic tofu, kale etc plus organic olive oil/apple cider vinegar. Fruits, nuts etc during the day a bit of meat. So far no problems.
Until I saw this. Great video that I did not enjoy. I'm thinking about clicking on the next one but I know I'm not going to enjoy that either so I'm going to go eat a carrot. Next video in line is how close we are to World War III oh joy.
My husband succumbed to the kidney cancer. The only symptom - the back pain dismissed by his primary. Gone in one year.
Not always doctors who dismiss the symptoms. Insurance companies have the say as to what test you will get. Sad
Where was his back pain located at
My friends stepfather died of pancreatic cancer at 60 years old. Lived a healthy active lifestyle and never smoked or drank alcohol. It’s a despicable cancer that normally isn’t diagnosed until it’s too late
The title is incorrect doc. It should say the truth which is -- signs your doctor(s) should never ignore or dismiss or delay for their patients
Yes, It should be the title.
Doctor Mike has done a video interview with doctor Berg, talking about repairing autoimmune disorders...including cancers...by using keto with intermittent fasting. I recommend that everybody watches that video...as there are many things that practicing doctors are not allowed to speak about, until such directives are allowed to be spoken about.
One of my Grandfathers passed away of it in 1974. At 80, he had some trouble walking; The doctors (stupidly) diagnosed his condition as 'arteriosclerosis. ' His telltales were loss of appetite and very significant weight loss. Well, it was 1974, and no one knew what they were doing.
Sadly this video like many others came 8 months too late.
I lost a close friend to this in June. Abdominal pain for a few weeks was the only sign.
They went to see a private GP on Tuesday 8th of June and they found a lump on the pancreas. On the 10th they told me they were going in for chemo the following week (15th) and there were no surgical options.
On Friday 11th they messaged from hospital… unknown to me they were really sick. I asked if they wanted to be left to it and wait until they got back in touch after chemo. They said that was probably for the best and “but don’t think I am not thinking about you”. They died 9 days later… I never heard back
Thank you. I lost a coworker to this. He was way healthier than me. RIP Bentley
One of my neighbors died from pancreatic cancer last year, he was diagnosed and died only two weeks later at age 35, this cancer is the worst because it kills fast when it's too late to do something
He died from pancreatic cancer, age 67. Massive weight loss was the first I saw, appetite loss and I assume abdominal pain since he was turn on his sides on the hospital bed. This is a lethal terminal level type of cancer
Thank you. Cancer is preventable in most cases. Eating well and eliminating carbs, carbs turn to sugar, and eliminating sugar are great front-line defenses. I also only drink water I've personally filtered. The sad part is that veggies are grown in soils depleted in natural minerals. They are picked green, so they never develop ripeness. Just because a tomato is red in the grocery store does not mean it's ripe. However, junk food and processed foods are the biggest culprits. Herbicides and pesticides play a huge part in causing cancer, as well. Oats are not GMO. Therefore, two weeks prior to harvest glyphosates are sprayed on them. Farming techniques must change.
carbs/sugars are important part of your Kreb cycle, without any you would be dead.
Veggies are carbs, I think you mean eliminating the bad carbs.Soybeans,an otherwise healthy food is sprayed with the same thing as Oats and basically ruined health wise.
I looked up the leading causes of pancreatic cancer
Ye
fully agree
Is Pancreatic Cancer genetic? My mother had this awful disease. Was diagnosed on Sept 4th and died 3 months later to the day. She had back pain (thought it was her mattress so she bought a new one). She was always trying to lose weight and thought she finally found the right plan because she was loosing weight finally. The last symptom was her throwing up a lot and she finally went to the ER. That is where she was diagnosed. Her doctor confirmed it the following week. She was given 3 months to live without chemo and 1 year with chemo. She opted to live without chemo because she felt she would be in more pain because of the chemo. She suffered a great deal in her 1st month after diagnosis because they couldn't get the pain meds right for her. It was only after hospice was called that they helped her with her pain. Morphine was finally administered to her the last week.
Yes. It is known that pancreatic cancer is more common in Ashkenazi Jews than in the general population. I was surprised the doctor did not mention this.
My MIL was treated for gastritis, diverticulitis and appendicitis before she was diagnosed with PC 6 months later. She died 3 weeks post diagnosis and suffered a hard 7 months prior. It is a horrific disease.
Woah, had ALL of those symptoms and surprisingly I was poo-poo-Ed when I tried to tell people I wasn’t feeling well and described the symptoms( and I was told I must just be nervous). Did have bad bowel situation, not sure about pancreatic inflammation, but had a couple cancers (not pancreas). Interesting. Had temporarily moved to Japan for what I thought would be a year or two training and experience program, and study. So I put up with being unable to suddenly eat fruits due to the exorbitant and shocking prices. I put up with suddenly having a dramatic increase in empty calorie carbohydrates and no time to little time to sit down to properly eat and digest. Lots more was happening including heavy exposure to chemicals, staying in smoke filled rooms that one could draw letters in and read them, or having to stay out in the hall when feeling sick from it, for which I was scolded and somewhat bullied. Times have greatly changed but health was definitely damaged, surprising since Japan also has such good food and famous green tea, which may have been a mitigating factor to all the smoke filled rooms for the health of many.
the did you cure or what happened?
My husband was extremely fit for 69 years old. Never been in hospital. Worked until he was 67. No signs until his eyes turned yellow. Diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Died exactly 10 weeks from diagnosis. Such a cruel disease.
