[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do not get the scan and the pain persists are you going to worry it’s cancer anyway? If that’s the case it’s probably better to get it so you aren’t dealing with what ifs. And odds are overwhelmingly in your favor that it’s not pancreatic cancer. [/quote] OP, I agree with the above. Look, you are going to worry no matter what about the unexplained pain. So at least know what you are dealing with, or hopefully rule it out. Do you have a friend or family member you can enlist in helping you to get the CT scan done?[/quote] This is exactly the WRONG thing to do for someone with health anxiety who almost certainly does not have pancreatic cancer. A negative scan will reassure her for about 10 minutes. Then she will remember that she read that one article about someone whose PC was missed on a CT scan, and she will be right back where she started. Ask me how I know. [/quote]
