I have IPMN but my main duct in the head of my pancreas is dilated to 8 cm. I saw two surgeons. One wanted to remove my entire pancreas. The other in Philly with-amazing credentials he is Charles Vollmer in Penn Med at the Perlman center is going to do a wipple surgery to remove the head of my pancreas in the NewYear. I don't have cancer yet but the cysts I have turned mucinous. Next stage is cancer at a chance of 80 percent. I’m scared senseless but i do not want to die from pancreatic cancer. I have been watched by my gastroenterologist for three years with yearly MRI and endoscopic EUS with biopsy. I had two bouts of pancreatitis in that time and had my. gall bladder removed. Now I’m in AFib and I’m going to have ablation done in December. I have had many blood tests to measure pancreatic function. Good luck to you. This journey is exhausting.
