I also have discomfort in my ribs on the right side and some down in the right side of my stomach but I'm not sure if it's related.

Hello @atlmike21 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am always pleased to hear members being proactive about their health care. As you said in your first post, "I want to make sure I find the best doctor..."

I have had several IPMNs for several years (10 plus years) with regular follow-ups and no changes in the amount nor size. A lot of members are like myself and have not had PC develop. However, you are wise to follow up. You said that you have a consult with a surgical oncologist. Was this doctor referred to you by another physician?
