My father passed away from pancreatic cancer several years ago. Should I be concerned? Funny, they don't tell u up front there is a charge for answering questions. Thanks but I'll call my pup
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of probable stomach virus which lasted for 4 days, now have left upper pain. This is more suggestive of colitis, that is inflammation of the colon. With a history of cancer of pancreas in your Father and the present history of pain in the left upper abdomen persisted after so-called stomach bug, CT scan is the best investigations and followed by colonoscopy if the medical treatment fails to resolve the issue. Take a full course of an antibiotic and probiotic with Metronidazole.
