Urq Disc.&occ Floating Stool. All Tests Normal. Is It Pancreatic Cancer?
Im 34yr old male with Urq disc.&occ floating stool for almost a year. my gastro and primary gave me following tests: normal stool tests(checked everything even fecal fat but not the 72hr one),abdominal and pelvic ct scan w/ contrast (normal),colonoscopy (normal),ultra sound of gallbladder (normal),hida scan (normal), cbc (normal) chest xray (normal), metabolic panel (normal),upper endoscopy (biopsies negative but diagnosed with gerd and mild gastritis). now just had yearly physical and everything was fine. Nobody seems concerened but me. the only answer i get is ibs (but im not D or C) doesnt make sense to me. been to both therapist and physciatrist for hypochondria (everyone says its in my head). i feel like i exhausted all my options. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS CAN I FINALLY RELAX ABOUT PANCREATIC CANCER?

Hi,
It is not clear to me what makes you worry about possibility of pancreatic cancer. Anyway, pancreatic cancer often have vague gastrointestinal symtoms. As almost every report came as normal in your case no organic disease can be suspected right now. For your information pancreatic cancer can be diagnosed on the basis of pancreatic protocol CT scan. Your present investigation and symptoms not in favor of pancreatic cancer. Follow your doctors' advise.
