Thank you for your welcome and comments. My husband’s mass was found because he was having symptoms, primarily weight loss and low energy. He has never had jaundice or stomach pains. Most of his issues are digestive…belching, occasional diarrhea, no appetite. He is now taking Creon which has been helpful in controlling the diarrhea. Even though he still eats very little, he has recently managed to gain five pounds. This feels like a huge victory! He has an upcoming CAT scan and possible biopsy of the fluid in his abdomen, if it is still there as shown in a previous scan. We did get a second opinion from Roswell Park Cancer Center and may go there if we require another EUS biopsy to try to obtain a diagnosis.

I appreciate the update, @cazms5. I'm glad to hear that your husband was able to get another opinion. It is also good that Creon has been helpful to him and that he has been able to gain some weight.

How are you doing through this process? I hope that you keep posting any questions of concerns you have as you go through this journey. This group has many great encouragers. Will you continue to provide updates?
