It Wasn’t IBS—It Was A Tumor! - Jessica | Pancreatic Cancer | The Patient Story

Описание к видео It Wasn’t IBS—It Was A Tumor! - Jessica | Pancreatic Cancer | The Patient Story

Jessica shares her story of being diagnosed with a rare pancreatic tumor called a solid pseudopapillary neoplasm. At 26 years old, she endured symptoms that were initially misdiagnosed as IBS before a sudden episode of unbearable pain led her to the emergency room. Jessica opens up about her diagnosis, the emotional toll of hearing the words “malignant tumor,” and the life-changing Whipple procedure she underwent to remove the tumor.

Through her story, Jessica highlights the importance of self-advocacy, seeking answers when something feels wrong, and processing the emotional aftermath of a cancer diagnosis.

Thank you, Jessica for sharing your story to help others.
