I was recently diagnosed with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, I’m 63 and thought it was my gallbladder acting up. Went to my primary care clinic and he sent me for an Ultrasound and it showed a mass in my pancreas. That same day he sent me for a CT Scan and it was negative. I asked for an EUS and a biopsy was done and they were able to find a 4 x 3 cm mass which tested positive for Adenocarcinoma. 3 weeks later I had a Whipple procedure done and a month later I started 6 months of chemotherapy. I finished on October of 2022 and my first PET SCAN was negative. I had my first CT SCAN on February of this year and it was also negative. We still have a long way to go, but nonetheless I couldn’t be happier. Fight on!!!!!

My luvs hugs and prayers to you love ...... I too have pancreatic cancer and liver tumors thru out. I tried joe tipions recipe and by the grace of god I have been in remission for almost 1 year (11/05)..... However I pray to live to your age😘. Please keep me updated 🥰
Thank you so much for this information, beautifully illustrated. Im having the same symptoms under investigation and feeling miserable with fear. Its such a cruel disease 😔. Thank you once again much appreciated. Get well to all who are struggling and suffering 🙏🏽🙏🏽..From the UK.
I notice a lot of Hollywood celebrities have died of pancreatic cancer...alcohol,eating habits, thank you for this video I will share it, well put together
Pancreatic cancer is often detected in later stages, making it challenging to treat. This video serves as a valuable resource for understanding the symptoms and acting promptly. Let's spread awareness and support each other in this battle.
My mom was very healthy a lifelong vegetarian and clean eater. Exercise was her hobby, she never drank and she has never been overweight. Then she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 57 after never being sick in her entire life. She was resectable so she had the whipple and did chemo and radiation. My beautiful mom passed in february 1 mo th before her 59th birthday. Pancreatic Cancer is a beast and quite frankly I dont think theres anything you can do to prevent it, there wasnt even any cancer in my family before her. Its just an unlucky draw.
Same with ny mother. No jaundice. She felt constipated but had a history of that on n off. 84 yrs. she was very weak one day. Went to hospital. Bowel cancer diagnosed. Then spread to pancreas and next liver. Dead in 6 weeks!!!
Thanks for compiling such a thorough list. There's something really wrong with the whole health care system when it's more about letting people get sick enough to become profitable cash cows than caring to educate us long before any number of diseases become a terminal problem. I saved myself from rectal cancer by doing my own research and arguing with my then primary care MD, who later claimed to not know about cancer.
Think you for this video information. My mother died from pancreatic cancer December 21st 2019. Yes, I did witness some of those symptoms Fortunately, she was diagnosed on November 22nd and died December 21st so she didn't suffer long. Thanks again for the clarification.

Dear Dr. Gonzalez: Thank you! I have several symptoms of pancreatic cancer (itching, weight loss w/o dietary or exercise reasons, BTW no jaundice) , two blood test results (elevated liver and antigen tests) and indications of problems in liver and gallbladder from ultrasound (indications of pores showing something trying to get through them). I'm getting an endoscopy tomorrow and a CT scan within 2 weeks. Tests done and reported along with itching visit drove the further diagnostics (ultrasound and CT & some added blood tests added to regular blood testing-I'm type 2 diabetic for 19 years. The diagnostics are being done quickly. Yours has been the most complete video on symptoms of pancreatic cancer. It's a start.
With all the reports of death due to pancreatic cancer among entertainers, prominent personalities, I believe there must be a reason for this increase. Staying informed is our best defense. Thanks for this channel with so many practical tips for everyday survival in a very toxic world. GOD bless the producers of it.
Thank you Doctor my son died from this stage 4 when it was found too late for surgery or treatments He lived 18 months but so much pain and weight lost 240 to 84 lbs nightmare to watch this happen bag of bones 2_12_2020 worst day of my life 53 years old had all these systems and more.
Thank you so much for this information. I was very lucky, after my surgery the test from the lab came back neg. For cancer. I was going thru almost all the symptoms. I was lucky I had a great surgeon. I’m still losing a lot of weight, I’m down to 95 lbs. God bless you for your information. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My father died from pancreatic cancer the same year Michael Landon died. He had been a heavy drinker so liver was also problematic. Ive been concerned since then. Thank you for information
@@DoctordanielgonzalezMD I saw this video ( Please look at my comment on this post!) and so did several other people who had lost SOMEONE to this cancer. Do you have ANY information on this young man and his simple, cheap blood test for Pancreatic cancer? I do believe he won a very prestigious prize for his helpful discovery. Please and thank you.
🌹Thank you - very informative Dr. G. Eighty years young with no health issues, eat properly, no medications/shots. Suffered since age four years old (lactose sensitivity/tolerance was unknowns back in early 1940's.) Migraine headaches for fifty years given tranquilizers to relieve pain - nothing for preventing pain. I researched: "lactose intolerance" was the culprit. Eliminated certain foods for 10 days . . no migraines! Immediately adjusted diet, eliminated certain foods, cannot tolerate processed food with chemical additives/flavor enhancers. Consume only fresh foods (a bit expensive but saved the pain.) A new viewer (subscribed) today.
Very good life that. That is my life now at 49 years young. No processed foods, or eat them minimally. I was raised on a farm, so we grew most of what we ate. I love the flavour of naturally grown food to this day. I have a small garden at home for simple vegetables.
My Dad passed away 11days ago at 22dec 2023 because of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Just 2 month after diagnosed. We cant do much even with medical treadment
Thank you, Doctor, for making and sharing this video. My mother passed away from the horrible disease of pancreatic cancer. I still look back and wonder if I could have spotted any symptoms that might have saved or life or possibly reduced the terrible suffering and pain. Also I thank you for educating me and everyone so we can help each other.
I love Dr. Gonzalez's accent and way of speaking. Sounds like English might be not his primary language. But he commands it very well. Keep informing us on how to preserve our health.
My mother had a stent put into her pancreas and she never experienced any pain as the enzymes were able to travel freely from the pancreas which in turn the pancreas stayed functional and intact even as the tumor grew.... She ultimately died years later in her sleep... Never experienced the pain associated with this disease...
I have a co-worker who has been facing Stage 4 pancreatic cancer for the past 3 yeas. He had the Whipple surgery and is doing better but still has disease in his liver. This video was really helpful in explaining what my co-worker was going through.
My late husband 64 died in 2009, once he found out, he did not want any treatment, he saw his friend go thru chemo, etc, lots of pain and agony,so, when he got sick, he just accept it and died peacefully..blame Asian Orange spray in the Vietnam war. They were fighting there in 1966 age 22, a waste of time, wars are a curse.
My father died of pancreatic CA 7 months from diagnosis, he received chemo 4 out of 7 treatments. Went on reverse isolation right away. Horrendous form of cancer , and very painful. I really wish that they will discover a treatment for it.
Dr Gonzales, thanks for this very informative video. My nephew was diagnosed in June 2017. He experienced all the symptoms you stated but ignored them. But when jaundice set in and his urine turned dark the family persuaded him to seek medical attention. Needless to say he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and the Whipple procedure was performed. It's been 3 days now and is doing well. He is waiting for the pathology report. But due to your excellent video I am more knowledgeable.
This cancer killed someone i love very much it was a horror show worst thing i ever seen i pray for new advamces so no one has to go thru this i pray to god really
This is the information that we really need . As I watch and listen carefully I can do imagine myself or somebody else who are sick or disease . Congratulation Dr. Daniel Gonzales . Good luck and more power . Now I know the shape of pancreas and what it looks like .
Thanks to your video's I went to a dermatologist and I have to get surgery done to remove birthmarks that look like stage 0 melanoma thank you doctor I caught it in time
Thank u for this video it helps me understand this disease better although it has already taken a toll on my mother, in which is dying from it. The only symptom was weight loss but that wasn’t enough to diagnose years earlier,Before her diagnosis this year in July 2018 She suffered with stomach pain and started eating less and less food. Don’t know how I can live Without this Amazing woman I love Dearly 😢😓
I'm very sorry for your loss. Losing your mother is very hard, but you have many more reasons to live. Enjoy the good memories with your mother and keep going. It's the best gift you can offer to her.
Thank you for this video. I always thought that Pancreatic Cancer was hard to diagnosed because there was no noticeable symptoms .I was wrong .Again thanks . I have shared with everyone I know.
The problem with pancreatic cancer is that we diagnose it too late, because symptoms appear when cancer is very advanced. Knowing the symptoms may make us consult with the doctor a bit sooner.
It's just my guess, but the way this guy is presenting this information, anyone with gall bladder issue's is at a higher risk, and anyone that's had it removed is even higher risk!...mine is gone and i have type 2 diabete's!...been having some of these issue's and found this in my TH-cam feed, so now i'm thinking this could be a possibility!...guess i should make an appointment!
My partner of 20 years passed away from stage 5 pancreatic cancer September 27,2018. He was my first love. And the father to my son. We miss him every day as we never knew he was sick. He always thought it was a terrible stomach bug. And did not like seeing the dr. We miss him alot. Our last family dinner was Saturday September 22nd 2018. And he went to hospital Sunday September 23rd. Not knowing what was happening he passed away. The drs told me unfortunately 😔 the cancer had spread throughout his body. It went to his bowels his lungs amd brain. He had a cardiac arrest and died. He was only 54 years young. We miss him so so much. May he forever Rest in Paradise.
My father also passed away from this cancer, but it was so fast. He wasnt even really sick, except for the last two weeks. His skin and the whites of his eyes got a nasty yellow colour.
My mom died in '99 from pancreatic cancer. It's a horrible disease because you don't know you have it till its to late. This cancer is becoming more and more prominent, more research needs to be done to catch it earlier so that there's more chance of a cure. I'd never even heard of pancreatic cancer before my mom had it. 😢❤️
How is he now? What is the result of his CA 19-9? My mom survived 3 weeks only diagnosed in June 25 , diely july 15 2020 it was very fast everyday she is deteriorating from a high energetic 74y.o. then within 3 weeks , she cajt talk walk cant .her CA 19-9 is 1200 (maximum machine can read)😢
Start making plans...my dad passed away from pancreatic cancer. One morning my dad's eyes were yellow a month later he had passed away. He was 80 yrs old.
Knowing the symptoms is almost pointless. By the time symptoms are present, it’s generally too late. And if it’s not, good luck getting a doctor to check for it before it’s too late. It’s a numbers game. It’s still a relatively rare cancer, so finding it early isn’t cost effective.
Recent research is suggesting that we will be able to spot cancers much earlier through blood tests soon. Although my advice is to enjoy yourself whilst you can, if cancer doesn't get you, something else will.
It's not solely disease that kills you, it's doctors delaying testing and diagnosis and even when they find something the jackasses dismiss abnormal as normal like when the idiots told me " it's just a little infection, it's just a little inflammation, it's just a little malignancy. We will just keep an eye on it " It's that type of idiocy that causes premature deaths because timing is everything.
The sad part is that the conventional medical field knows how we become ill, but does not show us how we can prevent illness or how to heal from disease.
Well that's not necessarily true, I think that the things that can prevent illness tend to be difficult for most people to accept and accomplish. Eating low sugar and sodium diet, exercise, quality sleep, low stress are all things that people struggle to attain.
Very informative video however talked mostly about the cancer being in the head of the organ. What if the cancer was in the tail of the pancreas - would that cause the same symptoms?
I am 50 yrs old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 5 yrs ago. I was petrified I had pancreatic cancer so I found an imaging place that I had a CT with contrast done. "I" asked my Dr. to write me the order for the test. I have been trying to find out what's wrong with me for so many years. I have necrobiosis lipoidiaca diabetica that presented many years before my diagnosis. But after living with this disease now for 5 years I now wonder if I could have it. I just cannot gain any weight and I experience many of these symptoms. It's hell dealing with disease.
Yes I know exactly what you mean but on the flip side atleast you have a diagnosis. Doctors make a career just out of initial diagnosis. It's really pathetic. Our healthcare system is a joke
Thank you. Now I have something to refer friends that have been diagnosed but unsure. You made this for the average person to understand and that makes it easy for me to use as a tool.
Hi Dr. Gonzalez thank you for such an informative video? I lost a friend to pancreatic cancer and another one has pancreatic cancer spread a tiny on lungs. But there is a portland study where T-cells are harvested from cancer patients and then genetically modified to act as attack cells which is then infused into the patient, its called a "Living cell!" This starts attacking the cancer cells when they come in contact and kill them. It seems in experimental stage but need quick attention to this experiment and help people in dire need of it. Please advice! Thanks
So sorry Lorraine. I am sure this is hard and of course, we never get over anything like that. my dad and mom have gone on, also and yet know they are not truly gone, just the physical part and yes we do miss it and at certain times more so. She will be always with you in your heart. Very near.
My dad died of this vile disease 11years ago he had all of theses symptoms it was horrendous they gave him six to nine months to live he lived 11 months it was torture seeing him in so much pain
My Dad died from this horrible disease, he was diagnosed on May 22 and died June 5, the only symptom he had was Jaundice, he said he had no pain, it took him very quickly😭
Thankyou for such a big abd interested information about this sickness, very helpful to me ,I'm a woman 70 years old,with diabetes , and sometimes is good to know all these symptoms thankyou again
Here because of my first cousin, well more like a brother to me, which is just 39 years young. Just got diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer yesterday. Wtf! It has to be something in the foods for this disease to be so trendy.
you right when you found out is to late.my husband past away 3 years ago he got stage three pangreatic cancer and finish him in ten months. it the only cancer you cant get away.are oncologists say even if we able to operate the survival is 5÷7 years.thanks for you video
It s also the vaxxine....in 2021 too many cancer increased... Liver, colon and Pancreas the most...doctors know it but want tell...i am an injured from 2nd dose of pfizer...they ruined too many people with this poison...i was healthy and fit...i know too many people having pancreas and liver cancer a few month after vaxxine...
My neighbor has stage 1. It scared me to loose weight by cutting down to 2 meals a day. I am feeling better now for doing this. My blood work is better now for it.
All of this is correct, but more than half of the symptoms also occur with a fatty liver or even worse liver problems (alcohol , ...) So go to your doctor! For liver problems usually blood tests and ulta-sound examinations are enough. For pancreatic cancer you need am MRI examination. A friend of ours recently died of pancreatic cancer, and she never noticed any serious problems except a swollen lower abdomen - she thought, she was just too fat ... :_(
@@robinnetro943 I am so sorry to hear that. My father went in 1977 so a long while ago. But it has left me with a morbid fear of that disease and that ending. In 2007 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and I am still here. Pity that pancreatic cancer has made no such advances .....
Thank You for the information. Now we know the symptoms to look for. There has not been a lot of warning signs about this disease, but you have informed many. Again Thanks!
Such a detailed teaching on The Pancreas, it's importance in the body and how it's affects the whole body and organs when growths becomes pancreatic cancer. My mom has a growth on her Pancreas, and having so many of these symptoms. Mostly sitting up to sleep bc of the gases coming in the stomach. Thank Dr for such in depth information and education. Many blessings to you.
After seeing GI for so many of the symptoms and complaints in and out of the hospital lately, no one has ever described to my mother that her Pancreas may be the root of her problem. MRI shows its growing as she recently saw a Pancreatic Dr, but it's being watched. How can a disease like this treated?
@@blossomwhyte4787 hope your mother is fine. The only treatment is chemotherapy or radiation ,its very hard to cure pancreatic cancer if the cancer has spread to other organs .
@@TheWalterSamuel21 That might be the best option if it was caught early but it usually isn't. If it's already stage 4 or maybe even 3 then it's considered inoperable and chemo and or palliative care are the options.
I'm afraid nothing has changed over the last 10years since I lost my husband to this horrible disease. He had no symptoms at all.He died after 10days.I think the doctors only think these symptoms are responsible. They are no further on all these years down the line.A lot of research needs to be done.
Great illustration and step by step cause and effect explanation. Thank you. First watch and ï subscribed right away. Way better than talking to any doctors who are too mostly hard headed and lack knowledge....
I feel that EVERYONE should be Tested for Pancreatic Cancer Yearly. .This yearly testing would SAVE so MANY lives..

I'm sorry for your loss, Wendy. I hope the video has been useful.
Thank you Doctor my son died from this stage 4 when it was found too late for surgery or treatments He lived 18 months but so much pain and weight lost 240 to 84 lbs nightmare to watch this happen bag of bones 2_12_2020 worst day of my life 53 years old had all these systems and more.
Thank you so much for this information. I was very lucky, after my surgery the test from the lab came back neg. For cancer. I was going thru almost all the symptoms. I was lucky I had a great surgeon. I’m still losing a lot of weight, I’m down to 95 lbs. God bless you for your information. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You need to check your colon
Because you still losing weight
My father died from pancreatic cancer the same year Michael Landon died. He had been a heavy drinker so liver was also problematic. Ive been concerned since then. Thank you for information
Wow! You make medical facts so easy for the non-professional to understand. Thank you.
That's because the non-professional is the target of these videos.
I'm glad you like the video.

I saw this video ( Please look at my comment on this post!) and so did several other people who had lost SOMEONE to this cancer. Do you have ANY information on this young man and his simple, cheap blood test for Pancreatic cancer? I do believe he won a very prestigious prize for his helpful discovery. Please and thank you.
🌹Thank you - very informative Dr. G.
Eighty years young with no health issues, eat properly, no medications/shots.
Suffered since age four years old (lactose sensitivity/tolerance was unknowns back in early 1940's.)
Migraine headaches for fifty years given tranquilizers to relieve pain - nothing for preventing pain.
I researched: "lactose intolerance" was the culprit. Eliminated certain foods for 10 days . . no migraines!
Immediately adjusted diet, eliminated certain foods, cannot tolerate processed food with chemical additives/flavor enhancers.
Consume only fresh foods (a bit expensive but saved the pain.)

Good for you. Continue to listen to your body
Natural food heal and build our body
Very good life that. That is my life now at 49 years young. No processed foods, or eat them minimally. I was raised on a farm, so we grew most of what we ate. I love the flavour of naturally grown food to this day. I have a small garden at home for simple vegetables.
My Dad passed away 11days ago at 22dec 2023 because of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Just 2 month after diagnosed. We cant do much even with medical treadment
So sorry, my dad passed away from the same disease 12 years ago.
Thank you, Doctor, for making and sharing this video. My mother passed away from the horrible disease of pancreatic cancer. I still look back and wonder if I could have spotted any symptoms that might have saved or life or possibly reduced the terrible suffering and pain. Also I thank you for educating me and everyone so we can help each other.
Thank you for watching the videos.
I'm very sorry for your loss of your mother
Me too. My mum suffered for 4 months greatly before death from pancreatic cancer. No such thing as these videos back in 1993 though.
Videos like this are very helpful for people that are older and can start diagnosing some of their symptoms and bring that attention to the doctor.
Best video on pancreatic cancer, thank you so much.
You welcome. I'm glad you like the video
I love Dr. Gonzalez's accent and way of speaking. Sounds like English might be not his primary language. But he commands it very well. Keep informing us on how to preserve our health.
I'm from Spain, so English is not my language. I try to speak understandably.
I'm preparing more videos. Thank you for your interest.
You are very understandable. I love your videos.
Thanks!
@@marywilliams9858 you u9
My mother had a stent put into her pancreas and she never experienced any pain as the enzymes were able to travel freely from the pancreas which in turn the pancreas stayed functional and intact even as the tumor grew.... She ultimately died years later in her sleep... Never experienced the pain associated with this disease...
I am sorry for your loss
Thank you Dr. Mike Manio for the. Clear Presentation of theTopic Benefits and Effects of Vitamin B 1 2. .
Though it's unfortunate that she passed it's good to know that your mom didn't suffer with pain and that she passed away peacefully.
Ĺl
Im glad she didn't suffer
Ive heard cancer is incredibly painful :(
Hello Dr Gonzalez I think that was the most informative and easy to understand Medical Videos I have ever seen.Thank you so much
Valuable and comprehensive explanation that should be shown to everyone! Thank you!
You do an excellent and detailed job explaining pancreatic cancer. Thanks
I really enjoy how you make your videos and most importantly how well you explain these topics rhank you for sharing your work ❤
Thank you for your kind words
I have a co-worker who has been facing Stage 4 pancreatic cancer for the past 3 yeas. He had the Whipple surgery and is doing better but still has disease in his liver. This video was really helpful in explaining what my co-worker was going through.
I'm glad the video has been useful to you.
What are the symptoms of stage 4
Very well explained thank you.
@@DoctordanielgonzalezMD thank you doctor you are very effective in educating us on this
My late husband 64 died in 2009, once he found out, he did not want any treatment, he saw
his friend go thru chemo, etc, lots of pain and agony,so, when he got sick, he just accept
it and died peacefully..blame Asian Orange spray in the Vietnam war. They were fighting
there in 1966 age 22, a waste of time, wars are a curse.
My father died of pancreatic CA 7 months from diagnosis, he received chemo 4 out of 7 treatments. Went on reverse isolation right away. Horrendous form of cancer , and very painful. I really wish that they will discover a treatment for it.
Yeah 7 months from starting cancer treatment? And fir 20-30 yrs his cancer was not able to kill... hmmm nothing to see here
You are a very smart doctor! Thank you. Found this video very instructive.
Two of my friends died from pancreatic cancer. The diagnosis came to late to help them. Each of them passed away within 6 months of the diagnosis
Dr Gonzales, thanks for this very informative video. My nephew was diagnosed in June 2017. He experienced all the symptoms you stated but ignored them. But when jaundice set in and his urine turned dark the family persuaded him to seek medical attention. Needless to say he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and the Whipple procedure was performed. It's been 3 days now and is doing well. He is waiting for the pathology report. But due to your excellent video I am more knowledgeable.
I'm glad the video has been useful to you
How is your nephew
This video gives clear , easily understood explanations for various symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Very helpful!
This cancer killed someone i love very much it was a horror show worst thing i ever seen i pray for new advamces so no one has to go thru this i pray to god really
This is the information that we really need . As I watch and listen carefully I can do imagine myself or somebody else who are sick or disease . Congratulation Dr. Daniel Gonzales . Good luck and more power . Now I know the shape of pancreas and what it looks like .
Thanks to your video's I went to a dermatologist and I have to get surgery done to remove birthmarks that look like stage 0 melanoma thank you doctor I caught it in time
Thank u for this video it helps me understand this disease better although it has already taken a toll on my mother, in which is dying from it. The only symptom was weight loss but that wasn’t enough to diagnose years earlier,Before her diagnosis this year in July 2018 She suffered with stomach pain and started eating less and less food. Don’t know how I can live Without this Amazing woman I love Dearly 😢😓
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Losing your mother is very hard, but you have many more reasons to live.
Enjoy the good memories with your mother and keep going. It's the best gift you can offer to her.
Daniel González M.D. Thanks! So Much This helps and your videos are so knowledgeable My mother passed Sept 9th 2018 Her memories is all I have now.
@@mamielee9040 ☹😭Im sorry for your loss
Mamie Lee’ - 💐
@@mamielee9040 what was her stage of cancer ? Even my dear one is suffering from this
Extremely easy understanding matter prepared to understand the subject by every ordinary people. Hats-off to your efforts. I really appreciate.
Thank you for this video. I always thought that Pancreatic Cancer was hard to diagnosed because there was no noticeable symptoms .I was wrong .Again thanks . I have shared with everyone I know.
The problem with pancreatic cancer is that we diagnose it too late, because symptoms appear when cancer is very advanced.
Knowing the symptoms may make us consult with the doctor a bit sooner.
My God, a real no nonsense video. Hope such videos don't get cancelled by the woke crowd thinking we are too stupid to watch them. ....from Ireland.
Right!!!! ✌️🇺🇲
It's just my guess, but the way this guy is presenting this information, anyone with gall bladder issue's is at a higher risk, and anyone that's had it removed is even higher risk!...mine is gone and i have type 2 diabete's!...been having some of these issue's and found this in my TH-cam feed, so now i'm thinking this could be a possibility!...guess i should make an appointment!
My dad died of this monster in 2004. He had most of the above symptoms. Very painful disease 💔😢
This is by far the best video I've seen on the pancreas, and I've seen quite a few
My partner of 20 years passed away from stage 5 pancreatic cancer September 27,2018.
He was my first love. And the father to my son. We miss him every day as we never knew he was sick. He always thought it was a terrible stomach bug. And did not like seeing the dr.
We miss him alot. Our last family dinner was Saturday September 22nd 2018. And he went to hospital Sunday September 23rd. Not knowing what was happening he passed away.
The drs told me unfortunately 😔 the cancer had spread throughout his body. It went to his bowels his lungs amd brain. He had a cardiac arrest and died. He was only 54 years young. We miss him so so much. May he forever Rest in
Paradise.
Sorry to hear that friend. Mom had CC LATE 2017 she fought for 5months later TOOK HER. STAY HEALTHY FRIEND

My condolences.
Thank you for the video. However,
QQ: What is the solution, if any?
Love the clear way you explained this. Thank you so much.
My father also passed away from this cancer, but it was so fast. He wasnt even really sick, except for the last two weeks. His skin and the whites of his eyes got a nasty yellow colour.
That's from bilirubin not clearing from the liver that causes the skin to turn yellowish
My mom died in '99 from pancreatic cancer. It's a horrible disease because you don't know you have it till its to late. This cancer is becoming more and more prominent, more research needs to be done to catch it earlier so that there's more chance of a cure. I'd never even heard of pancreatic cancer before my mom had it. 😢❤️
my mom had the same in 2012 she had too much pain that was very sad and quick:(
Always too late to catch the symptoms when my husband was diagnosed it’s already stage 4 but he made it 3years and 3 months before he passed away
@@imagine699 they gave my mum 6 mths, we managed to get her to a year. Not long enough. I'm glad you had a few more year's for memories. 😔❤️
Thank you so much. This was very detailed and well explained
Excellent video.my father recently diagnosed with 4th stage of pancreatic cancer
How is he now? What is the result of his CA 19-9?
My mom survived 3 weeks only diagnosed in June 25 , diely july 15 2020 it was very fast everyday she is deteriorating from a high energetic 74y.o. then within 3 weeks , she cajt talk walk cant .her CA 19-9 is 1200 (maximum machine can read)😢
@@bayoyoyyoyoy9968 I am sorry to hear that. She died 3 weeks after the diagnosis? This just shows how dangerous this type of cancer is.
Well defined video learning a lot about the eleven symptoms of the Pancreatic Cancer. Thank you for sharing this video very informative.
Thank you Dr.
My husband has pancreatic cancer. It helps me understand it more.
My aunty died of it in a matter of couple of months; disease progresses really fast! 😞
Start making plans...my dad passed away from pancreatic cancer. One morning my dad's eyes were yellow a month later he had passed away. He was 80 yrs old.
@@abelcerrillo2162 thank you, my husban has cancer for the past 2 years so far so good.
Your illustration s and explanation are well done I've learned a lot. Thanks a lot Doctor
Thank you Dr. for this wonderful video ! Very educational yet easy to understand. 👍
Knowing the symptoms is almost pointless. By the time symptoms are present, it’s generally too late. And if it’s not, good luck getting a doctor to check for it before it’s too late. It’s a numbers game. It’s still a relatively rare cancer, so finding it early isn’t cost effective.
Recent research is suggesting that we will be able to spot cancers much earlier through blood tests soon. Although my advice is to enjoy yourself whilst you can, if cancer doesn't get you, something else will.
It's not solely disease that kills you, it's doctors delaying testing and diagnosis and even when they find something the jackasses dismiss abnormal as normal like when the idiots told me " it's just a little infection, it's just a little inflammation, it's just a little malignancy. We will just keep an eye on it " It's that type of idiocy that causes premature deaths because timing is everything.
Thank you for an insightful video. Very helpful in understanding this horrible disease
The sad part is that the conventional medical field knows how we become ill, but does not show us how we can prevent illness or how to heal from disease.
big pharma and food industry!
@@traceyhateley3925 Exactly. They work together, meaning the FOOD and DRUG Administration.
Well that's not necessarily true, I think that the things that can prevent illness tend to be difficult for most people to accept and accomplish. Eating low sugar and sodium diet, exercise, quality sleep, low stress are all things that people struggle to attain.
I love this video! It is educational while being entertaining. I learned a lot from this video. The graphics are phenomenal.
Thank you Dr.for the very clear explanation of symptoms of pancreatic cancer.
God bless
I just believe so many of these health issues Americans have is our diets. Sugar is really bad. I need to make changes in my diet.
I feel the same way. Too much sugar in my life. Also i love cream on summer fruits. Not good for me i know.
Where were you when I was in College of nursing! So easy to understand! Thank you.
Very informative video however talked mostly about the cancer being in the head of the organ. What if the cancer was in the tail of the pancreas - would that cause the same symptoms?
I am 50 yrs old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 5 yrs ago. I was petrified I had pancreatic cancer so I found an imaging place that I had a CT with contrast done. "I" asked my Dr. to write me the order for the test. I have been trying to find out what's wrong with me for so many years. I have necrobiosis lipoidiaca diabetica that presented many years before my diagnosis. But after living with this disease now for 5 years I now wonder if I could have it. I just cannot gain any weight and I experience many of these symptoms. It's hell dealing with disease.
Yes I know exactly what you mean but on the flip side atleast you have a diagnosis. Doctors make a career just out of initial diagnosis. It's really pathetic. Our healthcare system is a joke
great insight! easy to understand. My friend just died from this so i appreciate the info
Sorry for the loss of your friend. I'm glad the information has been useful to you.
allan Shuben I've lost two friends..my condolences to you
Thanks so much Mr Daniel for your great lecture. Now I know everything exactly. Good job! I am grateful.
Wow. Was I in a medical classroom, or what....thank you so much. This information is so valuable to me. I am a type 2 diabetic. Very well explained.
Thank you. Now I have something to refer friends that have been diagnosed but unsure. You made this for the average person to understand and that makes it easy for me to use as a tool.
Hi Dr. Gonzalez thank you for such an informative video? I lost a friend to pancreatic cancer and another one has pancreatic cancer spread a tiny on lungs. But there is a portland study where T-cells are harvested from cancer patients and then genetically modified to act as attack cells which is then infused into the patient, its called a "Living cell!" This starts attacking the cancer cells when they come in contact and kill them. It seems in experimental stage but need quick attention to this experiment and help people in dire need of it. Please advice! Thanks
A very easy to understand video, made in an easy to understand way.
Thank you.
Very sad, I'm now watching this video on December 9th 2021 , which makes 6 years since my mom died of pancreas cancer , crying 😢 😭
May God ease your pain!
Praying for you.Im sorry about your Mom.💐
So sorry Lorraine. I am sure this is hard and of course, we never get over anything like that. my dad and mom have gone on, also and yet know they are not truly gone, just the physical part and yes we do miss it and at certain times more so. She will be always with you in your heart. Very near.
Blessings I’m going through it with my father Best wishes for your loss
Same as my mom
My dad died of this vile disease 11years ago he had all of theses symptoms it was horrendous they gave him six to nine months to live he lived 11 months it was torture seeing him in so much pain
So sorry for your loss! 🙏❤️
My Dad died from this horrible disease, he was diagnosed on May 22 and died June 5, the only symptom he had was Jaundice, he said he had no pain, it took him very quickly😭
Thank you for simply explaining the subject for understanding.
That's the point, Carmelita. If the viewers don't understand the video, it isn't worth the effort.
Thankyou for such a big abd interested information about this sickness, very helpful to me ,I'm a woman 70 years old,with diabetes , and sometimes is good to know all these symptoms thankyou again

It s also the vaxxine....in 2021 too many cancer increased... Liver, colon and Pancreas the most...doctors know it but want tell...i am an injured from 2nd dose of pfizer...they ruined too many people with this poison...i was healthy and fit...i know too many people having pancreas and liver cancer a few month after vaxxine...
I'm very sorry to hear that your dear cousin has this.
My neighbor has stage 1. It scared me to loose weight by cutting down to 2 meals a day.
I am feeling better now for doing this. My blood work is better now for it.
Very clear descriptions of pancreatic cancer thank you very much i love it !
I'm glad you liked it!
All of this is correct, but more than half of the symptoms also occur with a fatty liver or even worse liver problems (alcohol , ...) So go to your doctor! For liver problems usually blood tests and ulta-sound examinations are enough. For pancreatic cancer you need am MRI examination.
A friend of ours recently died of pancreatic cancer, and she never noticed any serious problems except a swollen lower abdomen - she thought, she was just too fat ... :_(
Best video about pancreatic cancer I‘ve ever seen!
My dad has all these symptoms, getting test results back today.
Prayers for your dad!
Wish him well......................X
My dad had this, you and yours are in my prayers.
I'm praying it's all ok.
Let us know how it went

My father died of pancreatic cancer aged 64. It was a very painful ending.
Mine too
@@robinnetro943 I am so sorry to hear that. My father went in 1977 so a long while ago. But it has left me with a morbid fear of that disease and that ending. In 2007 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and I am still here. Pity that pancreatic cancer has made no such advances .....
Good morning doctor I'm watching from philippines stay safe God bless
Thank You for the information. Now we know the symptoms to look for. There has not been a lot of warning signs about this disease, but you have informed many. Again Thanks!
You welcome!
That's the aim of these videos. Information is useful when it motivates to act.
Such a detailed teaching on The Pancreas, it's importance in the body and how it's affects the whole body and organs when growths becomes pancreatic cancer. My mom has a growth on her Pancreas, and having so many of these symptoms. Mostly sitting up to sleep bc of the gases coming in the stomach.
Thank Dr for such in depth information and education. Many blessings to you.
After seeing GI for so many of the symptoms and complaints in and out of the hospital lately, no one has ever described to my mother that her Pancreas may be the root of her problem. MRI shows its growing as she recently saw a Pancreatic Dr, but it's being watched. How can a disease like this treated?
@@blossomwhyte4787 hope your mother is fine. The only treatment is chemotherapy or radiation ,its very hard to cure pancreatic cancer if the cancer has spread to other organs .
@@TheChosenOne607 the only treatment is surgery!!!
@@TheWalterSamuel21 That might be the best option if it was caught early but it usually isn't. If it's already stage 4 or maybe even 3 then it's considered inoperable and chemo and or palliative care are the options.
I'm afraid nothing has changed over the last 10years since I lost my husband to this horrible disease. He had no symptoms at all.He died after 10days.I think the doctors only think these symptoms are responsible. They are no further on all these years down the line.A lot of research needs to be done.
Great illustration and step by step cause and effect explanation. Thank you. First watch and ï subscribed right away. Way better than talking to any doctors who are too mostly hard headed and lack knowledge....
You welcome. I'm glad you like the video.
