Did anyone start out having pancreatic cysts that became cancer later?

Question to all: I am a two time cancer person already...breast and thyroid (25 and 15 yrs ago respectively). Last month, lesions were found in my pancreas, 1.3 cm. I'm told protocol is to wait another 6 months for a second MRI to detect growth or stability. I'm STILL trying to get an answer from doc as to whether protocol for a cancer person should differ and if I should have another MRI (or something else?) sooner. Any advice, similar situations are all appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I would encourage you not to wait 6 months. I waited 6 months and have come to regret it.

When a monster is attacking it makes little sense to sit back and say “ I’ll fight back later”.

I would not wait. Perhaps you should get a second opinion, or explain to your doctor that you want the best chemo available for Pcan.
