2. Weight Loss
Weight loss is one of common pancreatic cancer signs. Those with pancreatic cancer will most likely experience a sudden loss of weight since the pancreas is responsible for digesting food, most especially fats. So if you have pancreatic cancer, your pancreas can no longer function the way it is supposed to. Your body will not be able to properly digest food and the nutrients cannot be absorbed well, hence leading to weight loss.
Some patients also complain of early satiety or the feeling of fullness even when only a small amount of food is eaten. This can also contribute to weight loss. A nutritionist can help the patient to maintain the proper balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats, to bring back its normal weight.
