What made the decision to have the Whipple surgery for your cyst being that it was less than a centimeter in size? Did your cyst have "worrisome features"?

Also, how are you feeling/doing since your Whipple surgery?

You need to talk to a pancan doctor. If you can get a cyst removed and prevent yourself from getting cancer - I’d say do it. Also, like above post the spread or presence of cancer is hard to detect through imaging only. Pancan is the worst cancer since there is no early warning for it. You have been given a major early warning opportunity. Now, does your insurance cover a surgery for cyst on the pancreas. Discuss all this with your doctor.

The decision was made by the Dr and Surgeon to do the whipple. 11 months out feeling great considering but do have a hernia from surgery but no big deal. Good Luck
