️ Your eyes and skin are yellow (3/12)
Yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin is never a good sign ⚠️.
It can be a symptom of:
alcoholism
liver failure
or pancreatic cancer
Explanation: Many pancreatic tumors occur in the head of the pancreas, near the bile ducts.
Even a small tumor can block the bile duct, preventing bile from flushing out bilirubin, a waste product of red blood cells.
Result: Bilirubin buildup → jaundice and yellowing of the eyes.
You look like you’re 4 months pregnant (4/12).
A bloated belly after eating is normal. But if it lasts for several days, be careful!⚠️
“As pancreatic tumors grow, they can cause abdominal distension,” explains Dr. Bilchik.
It’s often one of the first signs, but it’s rarely taken seriously.
⚕️Get checked out: it’s probably not cancer, but it can happen.
Prevention is better than cure!
Even your favorite dessert makes you want to throw up (5/12)
Loss of appetite ❌is an early symptom of pancreatic cancer.
When tumors develop in the abdomen, they put pressure on the stomach and cause:
feeling of fullness quickly️
frequent nausea
and even pain when digesting.
⚖️ Unintentional weight loss (6/12)
This loss of appetite often leads to rapid and unexplained weight loss ⚠️.
Generally, this involves a decrease of more than 5% of body weight in 6 to 12 months.
If you cannot explain this weight loss, consult a doctor immediately .
Your lower back hurts terribly (7/12)
A pancreatic tumor can put pressure on the spine and lumbar muscles, causing a constant, dull ache.
Many women attribute these pains to premenstrual syndrome or muscle strain.
⚕️But if the pain doesn’t go away after your period or rest, have it checked out without delay ⚠️
