Metastatic liver cancer

Since I never knew Pavarotti was suffering from pancreatic cancer, I had to have a deeper look into the pancreatic cancer symptoms. (read also previous post: Pavarotti pancreatic cancer)

Pancreatic cancer symptoms

Early symptoms of pancreatic cancers can include:

• weight loss,
• loss of appetite,
• general discomfort or pain around the stomach area,
• back pain and
• jaundice

About 5 out of 10 people have jaundice when they first go and see their doctors. Father who died from metastatic liver cancer never ever showed signs of jaundice!

All in all more or less the same as saying: you probably don’t know it before it is already far evolved, sounds quite similar to fathers metastatic liver cancer.

Symptoms of pancreatic cancer

You may lose a lot of weight for no apparent reason and at least 10% of your total body weight. About 7 out of 10 people with pancreatic cancer first go to their doctors because they have pain.

The pain is worse when you lie down and also after meals.

Jaundice is yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.

The Urine is darker than normal and bowel motions may be lighter. Other possible symptoms may be itching, sickness, fever and shivering.
