A member asked:

If pancreatitis is caught in early stage will i survive ? 26 yrs male what do u recommend i do to increase my chance to live?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pancreatitis: Pancreatitis is not cancer it will not necessarily shorten your life - relax just do not do the things that cause pancreatitis like drink lots of alcohol and you will probably never have a repeat episode dont worry you will live.
