A good concern: Pancreatic cancer is one of the most feared cancer. It along with brain cancer(glioblastoma multiforme) is the most difficult to treat.Pancreatic cancer tends to be a disease of older patients.Early symptoms related to liver dysfunction (nausea/vomiting, new diabetes mellitus, jaundice) may be hints that it is occurring and triggers an evaluation. Newer diagnostic tests are being developed.

You are too young: You are too young for pancreatic cancer and you apparently don't have symptoms of it. I would recommend therapy to find out why you are focused on that.
