Not standard. Generally they do a PET scan with contrast first. Just ask more questions if you have not already done a PET scan. Our surgeon told us after the PET scan that it was likely cancerous and he did not think it was necessary to poke around the pancreas to get as sample for testing. The tumour was sent for biopsy after surgery to check for cancer and for gene mutation.

So they just took the tumor out? Did it turn out to be cancer? Did you have pain prior to it getting removed? I don’t know what to do or who to see
