Yes I had a cyst on the head of my pancrease and had the whipple surgery. Cyst was benign but next to it was cancer cells. Stage 1A so am lucky that I had the cyest which I think may have caused my pancretitis attack five months prior to surgery. good luck

Welcome @galotshabe. I can imagine that you are devastated. I moved your question about pancreatic cysts to this existing discussion where @faithann64 was asking the same questions.

I encourage you to read through the past messages to learn more from the helpful information that other members shared and to connect with them.
Has you doctor ordered a biopsy of the cyst?
