In February 2023 I experienced an episode of vertigo which resulted in a fall. MRI revealed 4 fx ribs and an incidental finding of several cysts…on pancreas, kidneys and ovaries. MRCP has been done every 6 months and the last one revealed some growth of one of the pancreatic IPMNs. University of Michigan surgeon recommends a total pancreatectomy (can’t be done robotically) which would result in my becoming an insulin dependent diabetic (insulin pump needed) to prevent the “possibility” of the IPMN turning into cancer. Pancreatic sequencing was done on the 5 IPMNs biopsied. Only 1 was considered mod-high risk (distal). I am going for a surgical consult to UPMC (Pittsburgh) on 5/8/26–they recommend removing only the IPMN that has increased in size and can do this surgery robotically. I am struggling. I feel great. No issues. I just want to forget I even have this predicament and just live my life. I’m 75 and understand that I’m not going to live forever…debating with myself if I should even do anything at this point and just let life take its course…
