Dilated pancreatic duct: Should I get a second opinion?

Wasn’t really sure where to put this .
I recently had an MRCP done the report I received said 7mm dilation this is up 2mm from the one I had done last year. The nurse practitioner called and said no change and to follow up with one of the physicians in 6 months. No one seems concerned but me since everything I have read says there is a high risk of cancer. Can anyone shed some light on this subject or just clue me in TIA

Hello @doxie2

I would like to join Colleen, @colleenyoung, in welcoming you to Connect. I can certainly understand your concerns in that the doctor's staff told you that there was no change and yet the report indicated that there was a change.

As Colleen asked, I'm wondering why this test has been repeated. Do you have symptoms of a pancreas disorder? Have blood tests indicated a disorder of the liver or pancreas?

Please know that if your doctor's staff cannot provide you with answers that put your mind at ease, it is always your right to get a second opinion.

How are you feeling, @doxie2?
