@hopeful33250 Thank you for your reply. I’m experiencing a little weight loss. Nothing extreme. I have had next generation sequencing (PancreaSeq) that showed a low risk but my largest cyst is around 3 cm in the uncinate process and my main duct is 5 -6 mm and considered a mixed type according to University of MN. A doctor at another institution said it’s branch duct.

I am freaked out by the thought of a Whipple. Wondering if I should get a 3rd opinion from Mayo.

@ahnni

I appreciate you posting some more information. Has anyone suggested that you have a Whipple? If so, another opinion at Mayo Clinic would undoubtedly be appropriate. Here is a link with information for obtaining a Mayo Clinic consult.
