Good morning!
Similar thing happened with me, as far as an incidental finding on CT Abdomen done in the ER @Mayo, looking for an ulcer. The CT findings stunned me completely, as a 2 cm pre-malignant cystic mass was found in the head of my pancreas ! Wow. Talk about stunned! Went on to an MRI Pancreas which confirmed the cystic mass, and more. Things rolled out fast following this, as I am blessed to be colleagues with the radiologists who read these studies and got the ball rolling. Met with the Oncology surgeon days following the MRI, then scheduled for a Whipple procedure in less than 2 wks. (Nov 7) Although I have had everything explained in detail, I am still trying to wrap my head around this !
Since you meet with your new GI tomorrow (10.27) I certainly encourage you to have your questions answered in detail. My mind would always go 'blank' when face-to-face with the surgeon, as I remained so stunned. Our situations are different - but the incidental finding - I totally relate to the shock you have dealt with. I had no symptoms, though, related to these findings of the pancreas - as I said - it shows to be 'pre-malignant'.....I do not understand all of the verbiage used in the MR reports even though years in Radiology - I encourage you again to write down all of your questions. Wish I could be of more help, but I did not want to just pass your post without replying and sending you {{{hugs}}} and encouragement. We've got this! Please keep us posted!!
Best regards! Victoria
