Hii even I lyk most other ppl believed tht medical science have reached the sky but it ws just a short lived friction cuz the reality is far from this. U get PanCan or gallbladder Cancer (stage 4) and docs start assuming your lyf expectancy 4 to 6 months and whts funny is tht pancreatic cancer is 11th most common cancer and it seems tht science is taking it very lightly which is nt gud so many awareness campaigns are done fr other cancers but wen it cmes to PanCan there is no such thing as awareness campaigns.

Yes sir, because the very first presentation of pancreatic cancer is either mild upper abdominal pain or Jaundice (painless). When patient comes to us, they already would have taken some home remedies, And other sorts of medicines presuming it to be a infection one. The most commonly taken medicine is for "Gastritis" which again delay the diagnosis and leads to disease progression. Only awareness I could say is don't take any pain abdomen (recent onset), a new onset of alteration of bowel or bladder habit lightly. Take care sir.
