I am waiting for information from several drs regarding a needle biopsy of a “cyst “ on the tail of my pancreas. It seems the cyst has grown since last year. My results have been passed to everyone with no one willing to talk to me. The results were passed to someone at Mass General and i was told that the nurse relaying the interpretation of the results could only speak to a nurse who was licensed in both NH and Mass. WTF? The CEA is 5202. Everything I see online is either not clear or bad. Still trying to talk to my “care givers”.

good person and answered my questions fir as long as i wanted to talk. She
said she was sorry about not getting to me sooner. She said she has been
busy in the or doing one procedure after another.
