Newly diagnosed with pancreatic mass — What questions to ask?

Posted by blakebloom @blakebloom, Nov 21, 2023

I have just been told I have a mass on my pancreas and two small ones on my liver. A biopsy has been done (no results yet).
My first oncology appointment is next week. What questions do I need to be asking? Obviously I want a definitive diagnosis - what else??

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

Hi @hopeful33250
I had the MRCP MRI and the report indicated the pancreatic cyst noted on the CT is not a cyst or mass but likely due to volume averaging with adjacent peripancreatic fat of no clinical significance. Phew! Thanks for asking.

I said to my oncologist, “and you were telling me to gain weight.” LOL

Oh, so glad to hear that good news, @californiazebra! I appreciate the update.
