Need advice: Stage 2 pancreatic cancer

Hello @rexsan20,

It would be a good idea to ask the hematologist/oncologist about the cysts. I also have pancreatic cysts that are referred to as IPMN. Have you ever seen that on an MRI report or a CT scan?

My cysts were first discovered on a CT scan for something different. I had a EUS at first to see if they looked like a problem, but they did not. They are now followed every other year, by MRI, to check on growth and size. So far, nothing has changed.

Here is some information on pancreatic cysts from Mayo Clinic's website, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatic-cysts/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20375997

As I don't recall how your cysts were originally discovered, please share some about that. Was it by MRI or CT scan? I hope you post an update after Friday's appointment. Do you have other questions or concerns about this?
