My fear at the moment is pancreatic cancer. In september i started having indigestion. Not heartburn, just a feeling that my food didn't digest properly. My gp put me on Lansoprazole ppi which worked great but after a while i got side effects which were not pleasant (aching joints etc). I was next put on Ranitidine which also work but side effects with that too- diarrhoea and depression being two of them. Upper endoscopy and blood tests were fine. I had a colonoscopy 18 months ago, also fine. Last week i noticed I'd lost about 2lbs and went into panic mode. Constantly weighing myself, but the gp said i seemed to have gained a little since this all first started. I saw her again last week and she has referred me to a gastroenterologist under the 2 week rule (she could tell how worried I am and knows i suffer from anxiety). I know I'm being silly but can't help feeling what if something is wrong? Would having diarrhoea cause me to lose a bit of weight?
