i have been having a lot of abdominal pain and throwing up, i went to the emergency room 3 times and they did not find anything I went back to the emergency room last night and they admitted me in the hospital. I had to drink some stuff to do a test and now they say that I have a spot on my pancreas. I am a 38 year old female please tell me how likely that is to be cancerous.
Hello, thank you for writing in to Chat Doctor.You're most likely to be suffering from acute pancreatitis/ peptic disorder/peptic ulcer. However, for us to come to any conclusion we need to know whether you're having any symptoms of jaundice? Also, you have not given details of your prescription. I'd suggest you to get admitted in the hospital to be monitored closely for further symptoms, as well as so that you're given IV fluids. In case of pancreatic cancer, the gall bladder gets swollen resulting in bile pigments in urine. So you can get your urine and stool test to check for presence of bile pigments in them, although they're not confirmations for cancer, they just give a guideline. Also get a CT for abdomen. If it is simply pancreatitis, you can be cured by managing conservatively and with the help of antibiotics. If not, then you might have to go for surgery. Meanwhile, you can take pent parole and risperidone tablets along with broad spectrum anti bionics. Follow a bland diet.
