Anybody familiar with pancreatic cancer ?

just a few questions because i am having killer back pain when i move around . Also i am only 26
I am having mid back pain with crunching , grinding and popping noises , if back pain is a result of this type of cancer would i be hearing these noises with the pain or would i just feel the pain without the noises .
I have had this pain for about 2-3 months and in this time haven't lost any weight at all . Would it be safe to assume that i would have lost weight by now as well if this was pancreatic cancer?
My bowel movements are a little odd , just smaller with a weird consistency , for the most part the colour is mostly normal , does that sound like a symptom ? My pee is still very normal .
My main concern is the back pain though . If i am still it doesnt bother me . I have been to a doctor and am having a bone scan done on friday . If anyone is a doctor or is very familiar with pancreatic cancer please let me know .

Knowing the symptoms of pancreatic cancer will help you. Anorexia (loss of appetite, not the disorder), flatulence, weakness, dramatic weight loss, epigastric (above the naval) pain or back pain, jaundice, pruritis (itching), a palapble (feelable) abdominal mass, a recent onset of diabetes and clay-colored stools (this is with pancreatic and biliary duct obstruction).

If your only symptoms are mid-back pain and the noises, I think it's safe to assume that you don't have pancreatic cancer. Change positions slowly and carefully to avoid as much pain as you can. Can you account for the change of bowel movements? Anything different about how much or what you've been eating or taking? I'm not too concerned about what I've heard so far. I'd sure like to know what the bone scan results are since I presume that muscle and nerve involvement have both been ruled out and bone scans aren't for diagnosing this type of malignancy. There is something I have in mind but I don't want to give it words just yet.

sounds more like a problem in ur spine such as a herniated/slipped disc, or wearing away of the cartliage and cushioning between the vertebrae doesnt sound at all like cancer
