Hello @long72 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can certainly understand your concern for your mom. It's just great that you are advocating for her during this obviously stressful time.

Since the current hospital is suggesting that she be moved to another facility where she can get better care, this probably indicates the need for a second opinion or at least some further diagnostic work up. It might be wise to follow this suggestion. The National Pancreas Foundation might be able to give you some further insight into the best doctors or hospital to treat your mom. Here is a link to their website. If you call them, perhaps they can help you with more specific information about the best treatment center in your area.

Have blood tests been done to indicate pancreas functioning?

@terease
after telling us the MRI MRCP test results, the Dr. told my brother who was there with my mom that he would put in an order for blood test for pancreatic cancer. Since I was not there, I am guessing the Dr, order CA-19 and CEA blood tests. The conversation happened 4 hours ago so no results for the blood tests yet
