Investigations for pancreatic lesions, NETs? Confused and concerned

Hello @cottagepeople!
My pancreatic NET was found during an EUS for a liver biopsy! I was a asymptomatic and experienced no pain, but I had GI issues for years prior from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS.
In 2019, when I had the Whipple surgery to remove the tumor at Mayo, they actually removed 2 NET tumors. In my 2021 MRI, they now show a pancreatic cyst 7mm on the pancreatic head. My doctor is also not alarmed by the find, due to the size, and we will watch and wait. My next yearly MRI is in December. I am so glad that you are also undergoing the surveillance by your doctors. There is no need to worry right now. Try and focus on the positives and thankful that they will watch your situation with the upmost care. It truly sounds like you are in good hands. 🙏✝️💜

I wonder why the follow up at all with me if the so called scars on my pancreas steming from a severe acute gallbladder+pancreatitis attack in dec 2017. Do scars turn into tumors? I have had diarrhea since May of this year and probiotics help with that. Certainly better than constipation. But the diarrhea is very new to my system. Nothing seems to cure it. Your gi problems do you think related to your liver or pancreas?. I just want to cancel the next MRI in 3 months because of the worry for nothing. Of course I'm happy for the no cancer EUS result. Very happy
I just want to stay that way until and if I turn yellow. You know what I mean?
