I’m a Newbie. I too have have battled … 40 years for me. Those of you who have a diagnosis of pancreatic cysts … Do you have any other type cysts/fatty tumors on your body or perhaps in your mouth ? My gastro wants to throw a pill at everything that occurs. I have demanded a CT abdomen with contrast. I am allergic to iodine .. never an anaphylactic reaction .. I told my daughter I’d rather die from the contrast than continue to live in the pain I’ve experienced since Aug 2022. A colonoscopy triggered my latest symptoms.
I have been fired by 4 doctors in the last 8 years because I was advocating for myself. Y’all continue to be your own best advocate.
So glad I’ve found you

Hi
Can i suggest you request an MRI ? Radiologist told me an mri is best for viewing pancreas.
Prior to 2016 my local GZps had been treating me for indigestion for almost 5 years then i took myself to the closest capital city
( melbourne au) ate the food that made my diverticular disease flare up & presented st a major hospitals emergency department !! Thank god i did as i was then sent to a
specialist clinic & the main HBP Dr ORDERED CT & MRI & Gastroscophy and began monitoring my 4 pancreatic cysts--they grew from 19mm to 30mm & last oct surgeon removed the 2 largest & part of pancreas & the whole spleen. Cysts were pre-cancerous but not blocking anything.
Keep pushing until you get answers my prsyers and sttong wishes for the best of luck to you
