Cyst on Pancreas?

Hello again @faithann64

Here is some information from Mayo Clinic about pancreatic cysts and the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). If you are not sure whether your upcoming endoscopy will be an ultrasound you might consider calling your doctor to clarify. In my situation, because I previously had two surgeries for carcinoid cancer in the duodenal bulb, I insisted on the endoscopic ultrasound as the first doctor that I saw did not think it necessary. You, of course, should follow your own best judgment in this matter along with your physician's input.

Here is some more information from Cleveland Clinic. They also speak about endoscopic ultrasound.

I understand that your previous question about how the pancreatic cysts were found was directed to @wrolsen, however, my cysts were also found on a CT scan for another digestive issue and I was then told to follow up with an MRI.

@faithann64 it sound like they are following the same protocol they did with me in 2012. First blood work, CT scan, MRI, then endoscopy with mine it was with ultrasound and attempted biopsy.
Then came the appointment with answers and recommended plan to proceed with. You are your own best advocate, do your research and have your list of questions when you have your appointment to get the results.

I'm glad to hear that you are having an upper endoscopy as well as an MRI. Did your doctor indicate if this would be an ultrasound upper endoscopy?

Thank You. I have constant stomach pain and back pain. Anything i eat is an issue. Problems with swallowing, bloating etc. I'm scheduled for upper endoscopy on April 9 2021. Hopefully they can get this figured out. No Fun.

I'm not remembering if you still have a gall bladder? They will look at that too! They will figure it out for sure. Your endoscopy will help them. Keep us posted. Do you have a support person or persons? You likely won't need anyone but it is always good to have an advocate when you have surgery.
