Pancreatic Cancer -- It Started With a Stomach Ache

The symptoms of pancreatic cancer include upper abdomen pain, jaundice, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting, which are also very easy to detect. Most of us experience a few of these symptoms often, but we do not have cancer of the pancreas. However, because these symptoms are seemingly mundane, we must take caution with them and not be afraid to get checked out. If my mom did not see her doctor for her stomach pains, she would probably not be here today. The survival rate of pancreatic cancer is 4.6 percent.

In my next article, I will go into more detail of her treatment and recovery process and hope to spread awareness of this deadly disease. For more information, please go to:
