Since we're not doctors we are limited in what we say. I have read that cysts over 3 cm and having dilation of the main duct could be considered abnormal. The next test can involve blood, another MRI, or even using ultrasound to take a biopsy. Another option they might offer is to sit and wait while keeping a close eye on things. When do you see your doctor?

I will begin my research this week by checking online for a liver specialist at UC Davis. My niece did the same thing for her dad who is 72 years young and has severe dementia, and she wanted to find the best neurologist at UC Davis, which she was able to do as my sister is having an especially difficult time with her husband's downward spiral. I choose not to discuss my health issues with her because I know she is dealing with enough as it is. I will let you know of my progress. Thank you again for your kindness and support.
