@tomrennie I have Kaiser HMO . I had a consultation with GI. I wasn't happy about repeat MRCP in two years since I had 8mm ( unreported) pancreatic cyst for 4 years before it increase from 8 mm to 13mm in 2 1/2 years. GI said to have another MRCP next month which I scheduled for mid December follow up with EUS in March or April 2026.
I am still concern abut the FNA if done cause he did say that there are cases of pancreatitis from his EUS done on patients.
I checked his profile. It seems like he had one year fellowship for advanced Endoscopy at UC San Francisco and has 16 years experience as GI. Kaiser told me he is the only pancreatic expert who can do EUS. Should I be worry since he said his patients had pancreatitis from EUS before....

@lpaelevated4 That is a personal decision. If you are not comfortable, which it seems, I would suggest getting another opinion.
