Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Kelly,
I'm so sorry to hear that you are carrying such a heavy burden. I think Cindy is right about seeing your doctor while you have symptoms that can be seen. (The bruising.) Keep trying until you find someone who will listen to you. Surely, someone has got to understand how concerned you are and that you need reassurance through proper tests and diagnosis! You're very young, so it's not likely that you would be dealing with pancreatic cancer at this age. And since you're investigating the possibilities now, then you have a head start on prevention. Your symptoms could be one of several things, and it's just a matter of finding out and then rectifying it with proper treatment.
Try to see your doctor as soon as possible and in the meantime, remember that God really won't give you more than you can handle. (Even if it does feel like too much!) He can strengthen and sustain you through all of this. So, keep trying everything you can and don't give up. I hope that you will soon have good news and be relieved of this pressure. You're on the right track, Kelly, because you're pushing your doctors(even though you know you shouldn't have to), and you're seeking support here on the boards. Keep pushing your doctors to do what you want until you feel right about it. Eventually you will have your answers! Let us know how you're doing. I'll be thinking and praying for you,
Terri
