Symptoms and diagnosis of bile duct cancer

Symptoms can be hard to spot but they may include: 

  • Yellowing of the skin or the whites of your eyes turning yellow. 
  • Itchy skin 
  • Losing weight without meaning to or loss of appetite 
  • The colour of your poo or pee being darker than normal 
  • A high temperature 
  • Feeling unwell 
  • Pain in the tummy (abdomen) 

These symptoms can be many other things, but it is important to get any of these checked by your GP.
