I was hospitalized for 12 days. I do have a blood sugar problems. I understand it common with my condition. If they did give a name to my tumor, I do not remember. If it is important, I will investigate.

Hello @ryanmary3341

I just wondered about the name of the tumor because I feel it is important for each patient to be educated about their health. Also, we may have other members on Connect who have had the same type of tumor/cyst and we can introduce you to them for further support and information.

By understanding your health condition better you are able to advocate for yourself. This type of knowledge is generally empowering to patients.

If you are interested in finding out what type of tumor you have you can read the biopsy report. If your doctor or hospital has a patient portal, you can read and print the report and that will give you all the information about the biopsy results. Otherwise, if you want to know more about the tumor, you can call the doctor's office and have them mail you a copy of the biopsy report.

Yes, you are right, blood sugar problems are common with any disorder of the pancreas, especially if there is surgery on the pancreas.

Does your blood sugar high or low? How do you manage your blood sugar problems? Do you take meds?
