How I Found Out I Had Pancreatic Cancer! “I was Constipated”
Rich is a 41-year-old dad, husband, business owner, and hockey player whose life changed overnight when stomach pain and “just not feeling right” turned into a stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis with liver metastases. In this powerful story, he shares how vague symptoms, an ER visit for constipation and acute pancreatitis, and a slightly elevated CA 19-9 plus a dramatically high CEA led to a life-altering discovery. He takes us into his journey to find the right treatment plan and save his life!
