I ve been having pain in upper left abdomen under my ribs radiating to my back. Laying in my side is painful. Have not felt like eating much and have had some episodes of nausea and vomiting. I am looking for a doctor. I need to know what kind if doctor to see. I m concerned this is serious and may involve my pancreas .With my symptoms could this require an oncology doc or just a GP?
