Question: Hello. My wife has been dealing with allot of exhaustion, headaches for a while, but for the past two weeks she’s been severely exhausted, lack of appetite (lost 5 pounds in one week) and minor indigestion. She’s also had diareah. She had an mri of her head which came back clean about 5 months ago, and she just scheduled a colonoscopy/endoscopy in two weeks. She is also waiting on routine bloodwork that was taken last week. I just want to make sure we’re covering all our bases b/c I am very concerned at the sudden worsening of her symptoms along with the weight loss. Pancreatic cancer runs in her family so I am concerned. Her latest bloodwork was in December and everything looked well.

-Is there any other tests I should be pushing for?
-Is there a point where a cat scan would be recommended if her weight loss and tiredness continues and how long should we wait to push for this?
