I have a friend who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the age of 24. She went through chemo and radiation (it seems that her chemo treatment was forever). She eventually got better, after 2 years, however, about 4 months ago she begain to feel ill after eating, she could not hold anything down. She also developed painfully sore feet. As a result of not being able to keep food down, she lost a tremendous amount of weight. It was found that she had a blockage in her upper intestines and her oncologist and surgeon decided to that she needed to have an operation. Of course, before the operation she had to go through some tests and during the testing stage the surgeon noted that her liver enzymes were quite off. About two days later her surgeon and her oncologist informed both my friend and her mother that there was nothing more they could do and that she needed to fill out paperwork for hospice. My friend is only 27 with two small children and we are all quite shocked and saddened. Have you ever heard of pancreatic cancer affecting someone so young? (By the way, she found out that she had pancreatic cancer after a long bout with stomach pain, she thought it was possibly caused by ovarian cysts, so she waited a while before seeing her doctor) I have a friend who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the age of 24.
