Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* The constellation of symptoms indicating weight loss, yellow stools
and fatty liver may be indicative of many possible issues as

- malabsoption disorders
- inflammatory bowel issues as Crohn`s , IBS
- primary or secondary enzyme deficiencies
- biliary tract or pancreas disorders

* So just by these symptoms, it would be more panic thing to focus
only on pancreatic cancer as many of the situations do pause similar
clinical picture.

Do provide me rest of the reports of lab data, CT scan, ultrasound and else so that better co relative guidelines can be figured out.

Thank you.
Regards.
