Did they mention it being possibly cancerous from your MRI? The reason I asked is I have a 16cm cycst they discovered and the MRI mentions cancerous my doctor says we need to do a biopsy to check and my mind is just going to know if I do or don’t.

Hello @keisham808 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am glad that you found this forum. It certainly helps to be able to connect with others who are dealing with similar issues.

Is your cyst located in the pancreas? Do you have a date scheduled for a biopsy?

@keisham808 - I had a large mass in the pancreas, that was discovered on a CT scan and I had a biopsy. It showed a grade 2 pNET, but after surgery biopsy showed metastases in the liver, so ' I was upgraded to stage 4).
Please - have a biopsy!!
