Thank you for mentioning my bout with pancreatitis but it was short lived and was a reaction to the immunotherapy drug Opdivo (Nivolumab) which I was taking for metastatic melanoma. The pancreatitis showed up on the PET scan - luckily I was asymptomatic. After 3 mos, the PET scan was clear. My thoughts and prayers go out to you suffering from acute and chronic pancreatitis as I understand it can be extremely painful.
