In Memory of My Mother- Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day- Learn the Symptoms

The 17th of Nov. is Pancreatic Cancer Day.

This is very dear to my heart.

My mother passed away from this type of cancer when I was in my 20's.

Pancreatic Cancer is the 7th most common cause of cancer-related death in Men and Women across the globe.

Learn the warning signs-   
Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms:

Pancreatic cancer typically does not cause symptoms until it has grown, so it is most frequently diagnosed in advanced stages rather than early in the course of the disease. In some cases, jaundice (a yellowish discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes) without pain can be an early sign of pancreatic cancer. Other symptoms that can occur with more advanced disease are:

  • nausea,
  • vomiting,
  • weight loss,
  • itching skin, and
  • decreased appetite.
Pale stools, back pain, abdominal pain, dark urine, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck can be present as well.

The pancreas is located in the abdomen and has endocrine and exocrine functions. Cancer cells can develop from both types of functional cells.
