There are many vague signs and symptoms that are linked to pancreatic cancer. If you have the symptoms listed below, it does NOT necessarily mean that you have pancreatic cancer.
Jaundice
If the cancer tumor is blocking the tube from the gall bladder, your skin and eyes can turn a yellowish color and itch. Also, your urine may be darker color and your poop may become a much lighter color. This is known as jaundice.
