@lvtexas It certainly sounds like you’re getting excellent care. I have a background and cell biology and biochemistry . The major limitation with needle biopsies are that they just are not very large. The field of view under a microscope is tiny. Taking a larger sample in a non-invasive way is impractical because of where the pancreas lies in the body and it is also a tender organ and likes to bleed. I spent 40 years study in the G.I. track and the complexity of that organ system never ceased to amaze me. Here’s hoping for good news and getting you back on track with your remission, you’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.
