TY for the support.

EUS was completed yesterday. Lesion smaller than what I was originally advised (1.8 cm vs 2.3 cm) it’s in the tail vs the body, totally fluid, drained 3 cc’s of clear fluid from it…now I wait 😢

Gastro didn’t seem worried so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Gastro also biopsied 2 polyps from stomach and an irritated spot in esophagus…no doubt about it when I go I go big.

Last week, my GP found a cyst - 3.5 cm cyst/lesion on a CT and subsequent MRI that they conducted for either a hernia or diverticulitis I go through my EUS @ Mayo on Thursday. They see it as a 3.5cm cyst / lesion so far,… on the main body of the pancreas- but bile ducts were clear. Report also stated most of the other pictures were ‘unremarkable’ (whatever that means). My CA-19 test was ‘16’.

Two questions: 1). Although I’ll be sedated, will I feel anything from the EUS and Needle aspiration? 2). Should I be worried what else could be discovered?

Thanks. (I’m a 66 male, non smoker for life, 5’9”, 260 lbs, but lbs in 3 months, without trying.
