Cancer warning: Steatorrhoea in your poo can signal pancreatic cancer warns Macmillan

As with abdominal pain, Macmillan Cancer say: “Most people with these symptoms will not have pancreatic cancer.

“More common conditions can be causing them. But if you have any symptoms, it is important to get them checked by a doctor.”

The key message is awareness of what symptoms could be despite their apparent innocuousness.

This applies to all forms of cancer which, if left long enough, can become deadly.
