6. Abdominal Pain
Soon after, they also felt abdominal pain, since most pancreatic cancer sufferers feel they have a gnawing pain rather than a sharp cramp or ache that radiates to the back.
Just below your breastbone, and just on the top of your abdomen, place the tip of your finger. Then visualize your finger pointing back, all the way through your back to your spine. That’s the most common place where patients have found to have developed the pain that told them they had a tumor growing when they were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The pain is dull, but internal and radiates to all sides of your abdomen.
Cancerous tumors that cause pain in the abdomen are usually because the tumor is pressing on your internal organs. If the tumor spreads to the surrounding nerves, it can begin to cause severe back pain. The best thing to do is get this abdominal pain checked out by your general practitioner in your area.
