READ MORE:Former England football manager Sven-Göran Eriksson has died aged 76 after becoming terminally ill with pancreatic cancer.
A larger-than-life character, worries about his health first surfaced when he resigned from his sporting director position at Swedish club Karlstad in February 2023. His two children told the documentary that the gravity of their dad's condition emerged in the hospital after he suddenly collapsed during a 5km run last year.'"He's not in a good way." You can kind of tell when the doctor's in tears that's... not good. Worst possible news.
Currently, the majority of 10,500 people diagnosed with the disease each year in the UK die within three months. Part of the problem is that it's often spotted too late. More often, cancer can lead to small changes in blood sugar levels that don't cause symptoms of diabetes but can still be detected with blood tests.
Jaundice only occurs in some early pancreatic cancer patients due to the bile duct becoming blocked if the tumour happens to grow on a certain part of the organ.The yellowing of the skin that occurs in jaundice can be harder to spot for people with black or brown skin.Another signs is abdominal or back pain, particularly if it starts as a mild discomfort and worsens over time.
This can take the form of either constipation or diarrhoea due to the general upset to the digestive process.One of these is a symptom called steatorrhoea — which means fatty stools.
