Discussed newest tumor with Surgical Oncologist yesterday, but he wants an actual Biopsy done before anything else. Since I had cancer of the kidney 22 years ago, he doesn't know if kidney cancer has metastasized to the Pancreas (big problem), or if it is another PNET (which may allow me some extra time). I was hesitant since I had two Biopsies done on the original tumor which were both "inconclusive". I suppose that since that was two years ago, and I am still alive, it proves the original tumor was not malignant. I have agreed to get another EUS Biopsy done by a different Gastroenterologist. This should be completed in early July and I will then report the findings. Regards, Rick

I appreciate the update, Rick. If you have any other questions or concerns prior to the EUS biopsy, please post them. I'm sure you will be glad to have this behind you and have some understanding of the type of tumor you are dealing with.
