What Could Be The Reason Of Having Stomach Sickness With A Family History Of Pancreatic Cancer?

I m asking for my mother who will be 88 in March. She complains often of having a sick stomach, feeling nauseous, no pain, doesn t throw up. She s in remarkably good health for her age. Two of her sisters had pancreas illnesses that lead to their deaths (late 70s), we re unsure if they had pancreatic cancer or just what the diagnosis was except that it involved the pancreas.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. Regards for your Mother. I would advise you to undergo a simple test of ultrasonography to rule out whatever you have on mind . If USG is normal , nothing to worry and bother about. Nausea with sick stomach can have simple problems behind it.
