Answer 1

Pancreatic cancer, primarily ductal adenocarcinoma, accounts for about 30,500 cases and 29,700 deaths in the US annually. Symptoms include weight loss, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Diagnosis is by CT. Treatment is surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Prognosis is poor because disease is often advanced at the time of diagnosis.
Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is difficult because the symptoms are so non-specific and varied. Common symptoms include pain in the upper abdomen that typically radiates to the back and is relieved by leaning forward (seen in carcinoma of the body or tail of the pancreas), loss of appetite, significant weight loss and painless jaundice related to bile duct obstruction (carcinoma of the head of the pancreas). All of these symptoms can have multiple other causes. Therefore, pancreatic cancer is often not diagnosed until it is advanced.
Although it's not always possible to prevent pancreatic cancer, these lifestyle changes may help reduce your risk:
Quit smoking. Cigarette smoke contains carcinogens that can damage the DNA that regulates cell growth. Talk to your doctor about the best ways to quit, or contact the American Cancer Society or American Lung Association for more information.
Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight increases your risk of pancreatic cancer. If you need to lose weight, keep in mind that a slow, steady loss is the healthiest way to reach your goals. Aim for no more than 1 to 2 pounds a week. Add 30 minutes or more of aerobic exercise — such as walking, jogging or biking — on most days, and you can increase the amount of weight you lose.
Exercise regularly. Experts believe that getting even a moderate amount of exercise every week can cut your risk of pancreatic cancer. For overall health, aim for 30 minutes of exercise on most days. If you're not used to exercising, start out slowly and work up to your goal.
Eat a healthy diet. A diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in animal fat can reduce your risk of pancreatic cancer.

I'm sorry if it to long. im jes trying to help. good evening, No-one wants to have any cancer. I didn't want the cancer either. It was a shock to me and my family. Your question says what if I get pancreactic cancer. If you have that type of cancer or any other cancer, the answer I have is: it all depends on you, and doing what Dr's say & when they say it.

Has someone told you that you may have pancreactic cancer?
If your ever told you have cancer, first you need to know is are you going to be a fighter? or not do anything about it? I hope that your decision is to fight it.it was hard on me too some days. feel free to ask questions. I, cant give out diagnosis, and I cant suggest what meds to take because im only a patient. I will have surgery again in a couple weeks for a pain pump to be put inside me.

Each person goes thru cancer differently. With pancreactic cancer you should not wait long to see a special Dr for this. In the first weeks in mar 2012 I was so veryyyy sick and in pain. I never thought it was cancer till October 2012.

Please reply, comment or ask questions if you want. I, hope to be a speaker to other people going thru this too. but im sick with something else right now and I hope the pancreactic cancer doesn't come back for anyone in the world and I hope I don't want it back either. I, hope your cancer free to. what makes ya think you have cancer?
I, am a 12mos&13days free from having pancreactic cancer. Many people don't make it this far as that's what my medical teams etc. hope that some people that has been in extreme pain from this, I hope more people will do the cancer walks, and I hope more people will live longer. I did have stage 2 pancreactic cancer& 12times having pancreatitis.

I, had chemo radiation& the whipple surg 12mos ago. ever since I had that surgery I cant eat regular food. it has to be strained, or drink ensures. Im going to have a feeding tube soon. ii wear the same clothes size I did in 7th grade. Dr.s told me that I would see Christmas 2012. ;) I'm still here. I, don't want to ramble on. I hope my story helps someone else going thru this. my book is not in book shops yet.

Read health news regularly and make changes to improve your own health. See a doctor for a physical once a year and talk about any health concerns.

And try not to get pancreatic cancer. My grandfather had it and he's gone now. It's one of the cancers (like lung cancer) that is usually discovered too late and has no cure.
