Can cancer spread from EUS-FNA (Fine Needle Aspiration)?

Update! My cyst is a Branch Duct and due to its size and view, the doctor decided not to do the fine needle aspiration at this time. I will be on active surveillance. Probably 6 months another MRI to see if it grows. In the meanwhile, I’ll spend time focusing on general good health in case of future surgery needed.
I’m very happy that I had the EUS and yes, more info can be seen to determine next steps. 🙏

Hello,…
Questions,…: Did they put you to sleep for your EUS (They did for mine) and where did you have yours done?
I wanted to share with you that in June of 2022, a cyst was found through an CT Scan for another reason. Rochester Mayo conducted an MRI and then a EUS. Similar to you they decided NOT to take a biopsy due to it being close to viens. They told me at that ime it did not have suspicious characteristics. They have monitored every 6 months with two MRI (in Rochester and one at Jax’s Mayo (we are snowbirds). I go back to Jacksonville Mayo next week for another MRI. The team assigned to me have told me that if it does not show growth, I could (if I wanted) to repeat at 1 year intervals rather than 6 months. However I probably will have another in October BEFORE we come down to FL in 2025.
Yes, I am nervous (my GI calls it “scanaxiety”. I am putting my faith, trust and hope in Gods Will…. Turning it over to God.
I will pray for you. Please do the same for me. I ask all others on this thread for prayers of strength and trust in God…
