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

@carfbuch Two months ago after undergoing an abdominal CT, a 3 cm Mucinous cyst was identified. After additional testing (MRI, CT, and EU/FNA) were done, cyst recession was advised by two different Drs. My question is, do Drs. know what the % probability is for the different types of cysts of becoming cancerous? The Whipple procedure is quite a complex surgery and not without some significant permanent morbidities such as life long enzymes need and diabetes. Thank you for feedback!

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.

@carfbuch , This study discusses some of the findings from early/continuous monitoring, and gives some insights into numbers of how many turned malignant and what the treatment outcomes were. Maybe not exactly what you were looking for, but in the ball park?

Just so you know, I had the Whipple. I take enzymes each time I put something in my mouth. Plus to that, you THINK before you eat....makes maintaining a health weight easier. Secondly, I did NOT become diabetic after my Whipple. I have only 1/3 of my pancreas.

I have always eaten "low fat" and whole grains my whole life....to avoid gaining weight. I like to be slim & fit, so no, I did not need to change my diet at all nor see a dietician. While recovering from my Whipple in the hospital, a dietician came to see me but only had one question. "Are you vegetarian?" I am not. Getting enough protein to heal, was her concern. I have always eaten eggs, meat, etc. Now, I eat 2 eggs every single morning to ensure I have enough protein. Lot of fruits and vegetable are part of my diet. I avoid pasta and too many carbs, as I always had a sit-down job so knew I didn't need to eat like a hard working farmer ! Lol. (I'm originally from a farm)
