Hi, I wanted to add some things that were also alarming to me. My CBD is now dilated to 13, occult ampullary mass,
right adreanal myeliopoma,elavated LTFs,
Dilated Billary ducts,
Severe pancreas atrophy, cluster of T2 hyper intense foci w/ in pancreatic body, one measuring 3mm in tail,probable right adrenal myelollipoma, IPMN present in pancreas
All of this was from MRCP & Carscans done while I hospitalized for Pancreatic in June & July.
Nothing was done
Newest catscan revealed:
CBD dilated to 14 mm,
Lymphatic System: Mild portacaval adenopathy unchanged.
Bilirubin in Urine, High white blood cell
IPMN & neoplasms found

I do have an appointment with Mayo, Dec 14.:);)

But I like to understand what I’m dealing with.
Again I lost 30 lbs in 7 weeks, zero appetite, upper stomach pain( more on left side and pain radiates to left shoulder pain( feels like stabbing)
Diarrhea every day.
I don’t have any jaundice tho.
I would appreciate all & any comments

Every time I have been hospitalized they kept saying they couldn’t do a biopsy if they needed to because I was always do inflamed- Pancreas

Two things that I’d like to mention. If perhaps they say you have a neuroendocrine tumor (NET), pls be certain to seek out a NET specialist. Also, surgery on your pancreas is a very serious thing. Make sure you are clear on what it will entail. It was described to my husband as much easier than it turned out to be. He had a NET/IPMN on the tail of his pancreas and had a pancreatectomy & splenectomy in Jan.
Thoughts and prayers. Glad you are seeking excellent care!
