Recurrence in Liver after Whipple

My liver panels have all been normal. For the most part, the liver lesions have been stable. There are multiple and some have different radiology characteristics than others. Most are not concerning for metastasis based on radiology findings but a couple of areas are being monitored more closely. Due to the indeterminate nature of the lesions, I am having a Calcium Stimulation test at my next visit that will help determine if the liver lesions are functional insulinomas. Thanks for sharing your information!

Hi @ahtaylor

Good to hear that your liver panels have been normal, that seems to be a good sign. I can understand, however, your concern about the different radiology characteristics. When my liver lesions were noted on the MRIs, they remained unchanged for several years until they eventually disappeared.

I hope that the calcium stimulation test can put to rest the uncertainty of these lesions. Is this test scheduled yet?
