I'm scared I have early onset of PC

CT is not the best to see pancreatic mass specially if it is with no contrast. I have one CT with contrast in February that was negative for mass but Endoscopy was positive for 4 cm. Pancreatic head cancer.

It was with contrast. I have had an endsocopy as well only finding was some Minor stomach irritation.

@sdancev Do you know what kind of pancreatic cancer the mass is?

@diamondback2k9 Do you know what kind of contrast was used during the scan?

I have no idea what kind of contrast was used. I just want to make sure nothing is being missed.

@diamondback2k9 The type of contrast used is important. For example, a Gallium-68 Dotatate contrast is used during my scans. It is primarily used to show the neuroendocrene tumors that I have in my pancreas and elsewhere. Do you have access to your scan report? The type of contrast should be listed on there.

I think this is what was used. IV Contrast: 100 mL Isovue-370
