Pancreatic cancer: these two symptoms should have alerted my father, who died in less than 12 weeks

Although pain and weight loss are the most characteristic symptoms, other symptoms may also occur:

Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), often due to obstruction of the bile ducts
Chronic fatigue that persists despite rest
Light-colored stools or dark urine, associated with bile flow problems
Nausea, bloating, indigestion, especially after meals
Diabetes of recent onset after the age of 50, without obvious risk factors

Individually, these may seem insignificant, but together they should not be ignored.
