What constitues stage 2b? I have a current dilation of 8mm with IPMN in the head of the pancreas. This was discovered incidental to diverticulitis. It was seen in 2013 but was only told about it 9 months ago. Monitoring via MRI every 6 months and EUS/ERCP with benign biopsies. Doc is encouraging a prophylactic Whipple which I just can't justify at this point. Thanks for any advice or tips you may have. Best of luck to you!
