I hade burning pains in my stomach In Aug 2004 and had a cat scan of my upper abdomen on 1 Sept 2004. My GP prescribed antibiotics for an ulcer but the pains got worse .I then saw a gastroligist who put me thru a colonoscopy and a gastroscophy even though I had told him I had turned yellow ie jaundiced .He still made me go ahead with the two procedures .Nothing showed up on the scan apparently and I admitted myself to a public hospital where I was treated for jaundice .They carried out an ERCP (3times)and a scan they did revealed cancer in the head of the pancreas .By this time it was early Nov 2004 and it had become inoperable .Yes PC is difficult to detect but our medical professionals should work harder on detecting what is really wrong with their patients .
